Hi,
I am trying to create a visual web part in sharepoint 2013 with data received from another Web API.
I followed the below steps.
1. Created a Visual Web part.
2. In the code behind(.cs) file I wrote the following code.
async private void GetResult()
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
var response = await client.GetAsync("api/Tfs/OpenEnquiriesCount");
var content = response.Content;
}}
3. When I run the application, I get security exception in the line await client.GetAsync()
What is the way to achieve this? How to call a web api from share point visual web part?
Thank you in advance.
