I’m trying to accomplish a request in C# using the package RestSharp, for geolocation information by passing the zip code. The request this way was left:.

RestClient client = new RestClient("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" + cep + "&key=" + key);
RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

But I only get TimeOut.

The strange thing is that if I run this URL in my browser, I get result.

Can someone please help me?

c# google-maps

  • Correctly configured the key on the google developer console? Enabled the geocode API and linked it to key?

  • Yes, so when I run in the browser, the call works normally. I believe the problem is something related to C#, because I also made using angular and the same worked perfectly.

  • Take a look: Calling a Web API from a. NET client (c#)

Try it this way:

var client = new RestClient("https://maps.googleapis.com/");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);

request.Resource = "maps/api/geocode/json?address={cep}&key={key}";
request.AddParameter("cep", cep, ParameterType.UrlSegment);
request.AddParameter("key", key, ParameterType.UrlSegment);

var response = client.Execute(request);

Another way, this time with WebRequest:

string url = $"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address={cep}&key={key}";

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

Stream data = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);

string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

response.Close();

  • I tried this way, but I got the same error :/. I’m guessing it will only work in Javascript. has felt that?

  • It doesn’t make much sense, one way it should work!

  • I also think so, but the strange thing is that in angular it works and when I play directly in the browser, it also works

  • Added in the answer another alternative!

  • It really is very strange. It also did not happen this way...

  • Does the URL get badly formatted? Try getting the URL information that is being passed and confirm that it is OK.

  • Let’s go continue this discussion in chat.

The problem is that in my company the proxy was blocking calls made by applications . NET! I did the test using another network and worked normally.

Thank you all for helping me..
