_x000D_ _x000D_ I am developing an asp.net mvc web application in which I need to call OMDB api (an api to get Imdb information of a movie). I need to send a simple GET request to the api and get the response(movie details), deserialize the response into an object and pass it to the view. Is this possible without using a reference to an external library? Can anybody give me an example on how to do it inside a controller action.

_x000D_ You can use the WebRequest class using System.Net; string url = "https://www.service.com?param=movieName"; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream(); Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307023
