Help with RestSharp and Flurl GET request

I dont understand the libraries of RestSharp and Flurl. I just need to do a simple get request that returns a string that then i convert into a json.
I already managed to make a succesful get request with a regular HttpClient so i know that the api works and its these libraries that i fail to understand

this is how i made it with the HttpClient and the get request worked now i just need to do the get request with RestSharp and Flurl

If HttpClient works... any reason you're using Flurl and RestSharp?

And Newtonsoft, for that matter?

its a school homework

to learn a little bit about other libraries i guess

Newtonsoft is just doing the json convert

Well then, first of all, you're not calling the same URL in RestSharp as you are with HttpClient

Angius•10/1/25, 8:27 AM

The parameter of RestClientOptions()RestClientOptions() is the base URL

Angius•10/1/25, 8:28 AM

So you're calling, essentially, https://rh-central.azurewebsites.net/index.html/api/RH/GetAllEmployeeshttps://rh-central.azurewebsites.net/index.html/api/RH/GetAllEmployees

What you probably want is https://rh-central.azurewebsites.net/api/RH/GetAllEmployeeshttps://rh-central.azurewebsites.net/api/RH/GetAllEmployees instead
