Hi Jacob,

You may want to create a class which which you then can deserialize your JSON into. In that way you can access all the JSON data in C# through instances of that class.

It is very easy - On this page: http://json2csharp.com/ you simply paste the JSON in and voila you then get a Class generated for you to use in your Razor code.

I have not tried to deserialize using .NET but I have posted on the Dynamicweb Github Razor wiki an example of doing the oppersite which should be somewhat the same no matter what way you do the conversion :-) I guess out there in forum-land other more sharp can see and advice you how to do that.

Hi Sten,

Thanks, but I'm so new to Razor and C# that I have no clue where to go from that :-D

Hi Jacob

Try this code. Remember to add the following using statements

using System.Net;

using Newtonsoft.Json;

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

And add the json.net nuget package to refrences.

------------- CODE --------------

string url = "https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=https%3A//vimeo.com/76979871";

WebClient wc = new WebClient();

var json = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(wc.DownloadString(url));

var thumbnail = json["thumbnail_url"].ToString();

Console.Write(thumbnail);

Hi Klavs,

As I wrote I'm new to razor... you write "And add the json.net nuget package to refrences" - what does this mean?

Hej Jacob

A nuget package is way to install extensions into a Visual Studio project. You only need to install it if you have a cutsom Dynamicweb solution without it, or if you running a really old version of Dynamicweb.

If you're running a standardl Dynamicweb Solution you don't need to install the json nugetpackage since its included by default.

Try the code I've  written in your razor template. It should work, and if not, send me the error message

Hi Sten,

It's not quite what I'm looking for... well it can get the correct vimeo data, but I would like to have an item with a "Vimeo-Url" field, from which it finds the corresponding vimeo thumbnail. Otherwise my clients would have to add the module everytime they want to add a vimeo video to the gallery.

But caching is absolutely something that I would like to achieve too!

Hi Klavs,

I've tried that, but nothing shows up in my console... Solution is running: 8.5.1.25
This is what I've put in my template:

using System.Net;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

string url = "https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=https%3A//vimeo.com/76979871";
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
var json = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(wc.DownloadString(url));
var thumbnail = json["thumbnail_url"].ToString();
Console.Write(thumbnail);

Hi Sten,

That was just what i wanted! Thanks a million! :-)
