Compatibility

Dependencies with other extensions

The REST Service Calls for .NET extension requires that ≥ 1.3.4-funcrel or ≥ 1.4.1-funcrel of the .NET Analyzer  is also installed and used in order to ensure the most complete set of results. This dependency is not automatically handled when downloading the REST Service Calls for .NET extension, therefore you must ensure that the .NET Analyzer is downloaded and installed before starting an analysis.

Features

This extension analyzes web service calls made from C# code through classic fluent APIs. For example with System.Net.Http.HttpClient:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;

class Main
{
    void main()
    {
        var httpClient = new HttpClient();
        
        HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get,"hello/world");
        
        httpClient.SendAsync(request);
    }
}

Refit

Refit  provides the means to call web services through interfaces with attributes. Therefore, analyzing:

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Refit;

public interface IGitHubApi
{
    [Get("/users/{user}")]
    Task<string> GetUser(string user);
}

will create:
