Anyone else be lost without notepad++
Linqpad for me, it's my go to scratch pad when testing out either new tech or edge cases and POCs than firing up a new console project. Especially when wanting to try out new nuget packages and see how they work. Even for messing with external apis I use it with Flurl, especially for apis that don't have any proper documentation.

ASP.NET Core - how to properly make a GET request?
Use RestSharp to create a client library. It requires you to write more code, but it's still a lot less boilerplate than using HttpClient directly.
- static HttpClient inside a using statement?

Help on deserializing an api response for different classes
Can you not specify the type in the execute call, and see if you can inspect the response? var response = await client.ExecuteAsync(request); I’m on mobile so formatting, but if this is the same client, I just looked at some tests that could suggest this maybe possible https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/blob/dev/test/RestSharp.IntegrationTests/RequestBodyTests.cs

Send postcards with C# and Flurl
On line 16, we append the endpoint that we are going to connect to. In this example, we hit the “/addresses” endpoint. On line 17, we authenticate to Lob using Basic Authentication. Our Lob API key is placed where the username would be and we leave the password empty. Flurl sets the basic-auth headers using the WithBasicAuth method. For those using RestSharp it looks like this.
What are some alternatives?
