I'm guessing what your really asking is how do to deserialize the JSON. Use Newtonsoft's JSON library's DeserializeObject method and assign it to a dynamic object type.

dynamic dynamicObject= JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

then you can reference each property individually.

string type = dynamicObject.Results.output1.type;

You can use StreamReader.ReadToEnd(),

using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
   StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8);
   String responseString = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
