I'm trying to use the goo.gl API to shorten some link. The problem is that I do not know how to pull the generated URL from the json return. See below how it is organized:
{
"kind": "urlshortener#url",
"id": "AQUI VEM A URL DO GOOGLE",
"longUrl": "http://url-dos-detalhes/"
}
And I need to get only the id of json in my controller using C #. I'm using the MVC concept in ASP.NET.
Well, just give deserialize using a type dynamic :
using Newtonsoft.Json;
var output = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>("{ \"kind\": \"urlshortener#url\", \"id\": \"AQUI VEM A URL DO GOOGLE\", \"longUrl\": \"http://url-dos-detalhes/\"}");
Console.WriteLine(output.id);
Google has the Google.Apis.Urlshortener package. Just install the same via NuGet and use it.
To install, type the following command in the Package Manager Console :
Install-Package Google.Apis.Urlshortener.v1
After that, just use the API like this:
UrlshortenerService service = new UrlshortenerService(new BaseClientService.Initializer
{
ApiKey = "SUA API KEY AQUI"
});
var url = "www.google.com";
Url response = service.Url.Insert(new Url { LongUrl = url }).Execute();
var id = response.Id;
