I'd use RestSharp - https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp

Create class to deserialize to:

public class MyObject {
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
    ...
}

And the code to get that object:

RestClient client = new RestClient("http://whatever.com");
RestRequest request = new RestRequest("path/to/object");
request.AddParameter("id", "123");

// The above code will make a request URL of 
// "http://whatever.com/path/to/object?id=123"
// You can pick and choose what you need

var response = client.Execute(request);

MyObject obj = response.Data;
