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.

Best way to implement base class for API calls?
If Swagger/OpenAPI is available, save yourself a lot of trouble and generate the client using OpenAPI Generator. If not, use a library like RestEase to make it significantly easier to create the client.

ASP.NET Core - how to properly make a GET request?
Use RestEase to create your own client library. Refit is a very similar and more popular library. IMO RestEase is an improvement over Refit and I prefer it, but either will solve your problems. Both are libs that have you build interfaces describing the API endpoints, then the library handles all the boilerplate code that calls HttpClient.

I haven't tried this myself, but to take it a step further from just sharing request types you could try using RestEase.
