I am wanting to call my umbraco API from C#. At the moment my API is returning the information of some Nodes, how do I go about calling and parsing this data in a seperate .NET project? I have tried using HttpWebRequest and parsing the result as JSON and XML but nothing seems to be working.
The response I get form the API below:
Thanks

Sounds like in this instance you have your data exposed though, and hence it would just be standard .Net techniques for retrieving XML or JSON from an external URL, and then parsing that to do what you need to do with it. That looks like valid XML so presuming that's what your separate application is retrieving you can do something like:
var doc = XDocument.Load(url);
And from there do what you need to do with your XML.

Hello,
There is an Umbraco console app that shows how to use the Umbraco API in an external project: https://github.com/sitereactor/umbraco-console-example
