Retrieve data via JSON by URL in C#

Question

I need to get data via JSON, through a URL, this link: https://cryptohub.online/api/market/ticker/egx/

I’m trying with the code below, but I already get error as soon as it downloads the string.

The error received is:

The character chair is not in JSON format.

However, by the (little) I understand, it seems to me that the return is OK in format.

Any idea what might be going on?

This is my code:

using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
        {
            var json = webClient.DownloadString("https://cryptohub.online/api/market/ticker/EGX/");

            dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

            var btc = 0.0;


                foreach (var result in obj.BTC_EGX)

                btc = result.last;

Hello! There was an update in the TLS protocol to 1.2 so https stopped working because they were set to the old TLS 1.0. Arrow the System.Net Secutiry Protocol as I added in your example below. abs

using (WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
        {
            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
            var json = webClient.DownloadString("https://cryptohub.online/api/market/ticker/EGX/");

            dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

            var btc = 0.0;


            foreach (var result in obj.BTC_EGX)

                btc = result.last;

        }
