Alternatives to CLR Module Import - How to replace Webclient ?

[tomdevilder]

For calling API's we are using the Webclient (from System.Net import WebClient)

Since importing  .net namespaces or cpq namespaces is no longer possible due this restriction, we need a solution. But in the documentation on the 'Alternatives to CLR Module Import' page there is not trace of this on how to make it work without Webclient

Does anyone has an example on how to do it ?

Found it out myself:

service_url = "https://service_url"

apiKeyServicePlans = "apikey"

accessToken = "accestoken"

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + accessToken, "apikey": apiKeyServicePlans}

resp = RestClient.Get(service_url, headers)

Hello,

I do not have an example with WebClient, but with WebRequest.

before:

newRequest = WebRequest.Create(TokenURL)
newRequest.Method = "POST"
newRequest.Headers.Add("AUTHORIZATION", RestClient.GetBasicAuthenticationHeader(Token, Password),)
newRequest.ContentLength = 0
response = newRequest.GetResponse()
data = StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd()
dataInJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(data)
accessToken = dataInJson.access_token.ToString()

After:
headers = { "Authorization": RestClient.GetBasicAuthenticationHeader(Token, Password) }
data = RestClient.Post(TokenURL, "", headers, False)
accessToken = data.access_token.ToString()

Please share your code.
