how to build web api parameter dynamically

Question

I need to call a webAPI with string array as a parameter.

I have a string array . I need to call this api from c#

string[] str; str[0]= "abc"; str[1]= "xyz";

how can I create the api request call like given below.

http://localhost:59511/api/Values?str[]="abc"&str[]="xyz"

I would advise you to make it as a POST request with JSON body containing your array, if possible — Markiian Benovskyi

You can format the request like so:

http://localhost/api/values?str=abc&str=xyz
