    Another question that rises is, would it be better to use some HttpClient package to handle the requests, like Refit in combination with Polly. But then again, it seems Refit also uses the HttpClient factory, which was a bad thing according to the previous?

  • HttpClient best approach

    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.

    Use Refit, and let manage the live of HttpClient. Also, Refit will give you a strongly typed client around an API. All you have to write is the interface. Ain't that neat ? If you can't, use the HttpClientFactory to create the HttpClient instance: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/implement-resilient-applications/use-httpclientfactory-to-implement-resilient-http-requests

    The controller is simple and use the Refit library to abstract the PokéAPI call and then, returns the data.
  • I love refit

    To be fair, Refit is pretty great.
