I am attempting to get JSON from the Instagram API and put the names of the people on my timeline to be on a UITableView using Xamarin.iOS. I am attempting to use JSON.Net and Restsharp to do this, however this problem was never solved for the past few weeks. Here is how I am attempting to retrieve my data, the problem with this is that has an error message: System.InvalidCastexception has been thrown cannot cast from source type to destination type.
On top of this how would I load a specific element onto the table?
I have changed it to JObject.Parse(response.content);
and now I receive this error:
here is my updated code:
client.ExecuteAsync(request, response => {
var array = JObject.Parse(response.Content);
foreach (JObject obj in array)
{
var Name = (string)obj["data"]["user"]["full_name"];
var Caption = (string)obj["data"]["caption"]["text"];
var picURL = (string)obj["data"]["images"]["low_resolution"]["url"];
System.Console.WriteLine("Name of " + Name + ", Caption of " + Caption + ", and picurl of " + picURL);
}
});
Here is the JSON Response:
