Using BART's API to get a response using RestSharp C#

Question

I am trying to use the BART's API to get a response using RestSharp. Here is what I have so far:

        var client = new RestSharp.RestClient("http://api.bart.gov/");
        var request = new RestRequest ("");
        request.AddParameter ("cmd", "stns");
        request.AddParameter ("key", "MW9S-E7SL-26DU-VV8V");
        IRestResponse response = client.Execute (request);

This should get a list of all Bart Stations. The stns parameter says to get all stations and the key is the API key.

However, when I try to print it out

Console.WriteLine (response.Content);

I get some weird document that says how to use BART API followed with some type of error that says

Unknown Server (64-126)

Any ideas? I suspect it might be a simple error with how I have the Parameters set up or the way the client is set up.

http://api.bart.gov/ Are you sure this shouldn't be http://api.bart.gov/api/stn.aspx ? See the bottom of your linked documentation: Usage http://api.bart.gov/api/stn.aspx?cmd=stns&key=MW9S-E7SL-26DU-VV8V — Rob

Based on their sample, the url to get a list of stations is http://api.bart.gov/api/stn.aspx?cmd=stns&key=MW9S-E7SL-26DU-VV8V

If so, you want your request to look like:

var client = new RestSharp.RestClient("http://api.bart.gov/");
var request = new RestRequest ("/api/stn.aspx");
request.AddParameter ("cmd", "stns");
request.AddParameter ("key", "MW9S-E7SL-26DU-VV8V");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute (request);
