using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Web.Script;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Text;



public partial class Products : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://api.domain.com/api/Products/All?Token=U5Y1oPjI4DqwZgZkp-pVSmbIpP9XuXquKGYuREGwSNDX5OUhHAQVzI3exVOVzDD3|qlFREqiRHuKDG3gN5Zk05M5YjtWOhD8A11oxT7wolQ0gSLyKzXxNHgj94idAm4Wy6|CVnC2pguIbugAfqxSSJvf1KE_");
        request.Method = "POST";


        string postData = "Data to post here";

        byte[] post = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);


        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        request.ContentLength = post.Length;
        Stream reqdataStream = request.GetRequestStream();

        reqdataStream.Write(post, 0, post.Length);
        reqdataStream.Close();

        request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

        WebResponse response = null;
        try
        {

            response = request.GetResponse();

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Response.Write("Error Occured.");
        }

I think you should change these things:

content type

 request.ContentType = "application/json";

the post data

 string postData = "{\"Token\":\"U5Y1oPjI4DqwZgZkp-pVSmbIpP9XuXquKGYuREGwSNDX5OUhHAQVzI3exVOVzDD3|qlFREqiRHuKDG3gN5Zk05M5YjtWOhD8A11oxT7wolQ0gSLyKzXxNHgj94idAm4Wy6|CVnC2pguIbugAfqxSSJvf1KE_\"}";

the URI 

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://api.domain.com/api/Products/All");

  • I tried your code.No errors but I dont get any data from API? – user1353519 Mar 15 '14 at 17:08
  • read the stream within the response: Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (dataStream); string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd (); – xavigonza Mar 15 '14 at 19:09
