What is the process to generate a response based on the HttpStatus for a third-party API in ASP.NET Core Web API?

edit

In ASP.NET Core Web API, the process to generate a response based on the HttpStatus for a third-party API can be achieved using the following steps:

1. Make a call to the third-party API and receive its response.
2. Check the status code of the response using the HttpStatusCode enumeration.
3. Depending on the status code, generate the appropriate response for your API. For example, if the response status code indicates success (200 OK), you can return the data as-is. If the response status code indicates an error (such as a 404 Not Found), you can generate an error response with a relevant error message.
4. Set the status code of your response to match the status code of the third-party API's response.
5. Send your response back to the client making the request.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates this process:

[HttpGet("example")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetExample()
{
   // Make a call to a third-party API and get its response
   HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync("https://example.com/api/example");

   // Check the status code of the response
   if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
   {
       // If the response status code is success, return the data as-is
      string responseContent = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
      return Ok(responseContent);
   }
   else if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
   {
       // If the response status code indicates an error, generate an error response with a relevant error message
      return NotFound("Resource not found.");
   }

   // Set the status code of your response to match the status code of the third-party API's response
    return StatusCode((int)response.StatusCode);
}
