Try HttpClient. Here is an example copied from MSDN: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/advanced/calling-a-web-api-from-a-net-client:

using (var client = new HttpClient()) { client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:9000/"); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json")); // New code: HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("api/products/1"); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { Product product = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync>Product>(); Console.WriteLine("{0}\t${1}\t{2}", product.Name, product.Price, product.Category); } }
