REST .NET Example 1: Retrieving the list of accounts for an authenticated user

(Return to main article: Samples for .NET (REST) v1)

1. Specify service URL:

private const string serviceURL = "http://server[:port]/services/v1/adminservice/accounts/";

2. Provide login information:

private const string login = "YOUR_LOGIN";
private const string password = "YOUR_PASSWORD";

3. Compose the REST URL:

string url = serviceURL + "?login=" + login + "&password=" + password;

4. Retrieve account list:

XPathDocument xPathDocument = new XPathDocument(url);

5. Parse response:

XPathNavigator xPathNavigator = xPathDocument.CreateNavigator();
XmlNameTable xmlNameTable = new NameTable();
XmlNamespaceManager xmlNamespaceManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlNameTable);
xmlNamespaceManager.AddNamespace("tns", "https://urchin.com/api/urchin/v1/");
XPathNodeIterator accountXPathNodeIterator = xPathNavigator.Select("/tns:getAccountListResponse/account", xmlNamespaceManager);

6. Display the information about retrieved accounts:

while (accountXPathNodeIterator.MoveNext())
        DisplayAccount(accountXPathNodeIterator.Current); 
...
// Function to display account info.

private static void DisplayAccount(XPathNavigator accountXPathNavigator)
{
        Console.Write("Account id is \"" + accountXPathNavigator.SelectSingleNode("accountId/text()") + "\", ");
        Console.Write("name is \"" + accountXPathNavigator.SelectSingleNode("accountName/text()") + "\", ");
        Console.Write("contact name is \"" + accountXPathNavigator.SelectSingleNode("contactName/text()") + "\", ");
        Console.Write("e-mail is \"" + accountXPathNavigator.SelectSingleNode("emailAddress/text()") + "\" ");
        Console.WriteLine("and phone number is \"" + accountXPathNavigator.SelectSingleNode("phoneNumber/text()") + "\".");
}

Complete sample code for this example is available in the AdminServiceGetAccountListREST.cs file.
