Making Http Requests in F#
Why do I mention this? because today we'll see three ways to do Http Requests with different libraries, we'll first explore the BCL's (Base Class Library) System.Net.Http then we'll proceed to use Flurl and finally we'll check FsHttp, and depending on your taste or needs you may want to use one or the other.

F# records and DUs to TypeScript types/classes via json
Likewise, it looks like it'll be a while before FSharp.SystemTextJson has Swagger integration too.

Making Http Requests in F#
Let's move on to the Json requests. In F# Json Serialization/Deserialization is an interesting topic because we're used so much to use things like Option, Result, Discriminated Unions and other F# specific constructs that sometimes they don't translate well to plain json or from plain json and that's why often F# libraries leave the that aspect out of scope to other libraries like Thoth.Json or FSharp.SystemTextJson. For now we'll fall back to the BCL and use the System.Text.Json namespace since we are only using primitive types in our model
