Hi Villads

It might be helpful if you describe what you have done and what the error is.

Dynamicweb has no special things you need to do in order to make a request - just regular .net code. I.e. something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27108264/c-sharp-how-to-properly-make-a-http-web-get-request

Hey Nicolai, 

I'm trying to return some JSON, from an API request to the MailChimp API.

I tried:

• Returning JSON when a GET request is sent to a page template, i can implement the logic, but the view wont return any JSON. When i fire an Async request OnGet or on Rendering the template, the response will arrive after the view is already rendered.
• I tried adding a custom Class, which could handle API requests, and then send an API request using jQuery on the clientside. But this didn't do anything. Where would you place a Class, cotaining some basic MVC logic that returns JSON when a GET request is sent to a certain endpoint?

Do you have another idea of what i can try?

You can post your code and tell us the context - then we might be able to help. It sounds like you are mixing MS MVC (maybe even .net core code??) with Razor templates in Dynamicweb - they are not the same.

You can create a normal MVC page in your project or do it in the Dynamicweb template, whatever you need.

But if the task is to do a get request to a webapi and display the result in json on a Dynamicweb page, the task should be straight forward.
