This is the code:

Answer 1

Solved it like this:

using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
        using (HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(url).Result)
            {
                var byteArray = response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync().Result;
                var result = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
                return result;
            }
    }
