❔ Help with connecting API to visual studio
I was following a video I saw on youtube but now I'm lost. I need to connect to an API and extract information based on what a user selects in my windows forms that I have created. I have done some C# before but feel this is out of my league and it's for a school project.

1.) Don't follow youtube tutorials, or you'll be stuck in tutorial hell.
2.) Please post more information, such as the code

just use http client
It has multiple classes in it since that's what I was following but not sure I need that many classes.
I am using http client somewhere in my code but I am using an API key also and then got stuck in my loop of hell. Then found this discord hoping I could get some help
show us your code
and the error you have
Is there a way to upload a file somewhere? I don't have an error yet since I'm stuck on the last part of sending the information to my other code, I think. It's been a long day.

Sorry I'm still super new to programming.
that should be fine
what's the issue ?
Under WorkoutPlan, I have the last part where I need to insert the datasource into my listbox on my form. lstBoxWorkoutList is the name of my list box and not sure how to grab the information that the video was talking about. The video was grabbing an image and I'm grabbing text.
And I wasn't sure if my code would work
what the type of lstBoxWorkoutList ?
It's just a listbox that I placed on the form. I'm not sure what else I could use to display the data.
I think I might have found the problem on why it doesn't show the datasource. In the WorkoutPlan for the async Task LoadWorkoutPlan, I need to get the muscle group that was selected in the SelectArea class.
I don't think I set the variable right in SelectArea called MuscleSelection. I need that variable to be in the WorkoutPlan.
