To display API response in a WinForms DataGridView, you should follow these steps:

  1. First, you need to get the response from the API. You can do this by using an HTTP client library such as HttpClient.

  2. Once you get the response, you need to deserialize it into an object. You can use a JSON serializer library such as Newtonsoft.Json to do this.

  3. After deserialization, you can bind the deserialized object to a binding source.

  4. Finally, you can set the binding source as the data source for the DataGridView.

Here is a sample code snippet to display API response in a DataGridView:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

// Get API response and deserialize into object
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("https://example.com/api/data");
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
MyObject data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyObject>(json);

// Create binding source
BindingSource bs = new BindingSource();
bs.DataSource = data;

// Set binding source as data source of DataGridView
dataGridView1.DataSource = bs;

Replace MyObject with your own class that matches the structure of the response from the API. Also, remember to set the AutoGenerateColumns property of the DataGridView to true if you want the columns to be created automatically based on the properties of the data object.
