I'm new, Getting game events doesn't seem to work

Other Halo API Support

> static async void MakeRequest()

> var client = new HttpClient();
> var queryString = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(string.Empty);
> // Request headers
> client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add(“Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key”, “[MY KEY IS HERE]”);
> var uri = "https://www.haloapi.com/stats/hw2/matches/83570b03-2963-4b44-834c-bf77c74f2d0a/events?" + queryString;
> var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
> System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@“C:\Users\Joseph\Desktop\out1.txt”, response.ToString());
> }

This is the code I’m using but in my output file all I have is this

> StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: ‘OK’, Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
> {

It doesn’t actually have any of the game events like when you click the ‘try this’ button on the haloapi website. This is my first time using the api and I’m only an amateur with programming as it is so I’m assuming I’m just making a stupid mistake but any help would be great :slight_smile:

You’re almost there. The ‘ToString’ method on the response doesn’t print to response’s content. It will only print info like the status and headers (this is what you’re seeing).

After you get the response, you need to check the content from the response (the data you’re actually looking for).

I made a quick example gist for you to have a look at.
