I’m trying to use the HTTP client in .NET to call the Cloud REST API

Getting an unauthorized error. How should I be passing the keys across in the call?

Here’s my code:

var client = new HttpClient();

var values = new List\<KeyValuePair\<string, string\>\>();

string url = “[https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live\_streams/](https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live_streams/)”;

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue(“wsc-api-key”, “MYAPIKEY”); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue(“wsc-access-key”, “MYACCESSKEY”);

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“name”, “MyNewLiveStream”));

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“transcoder\_type”, “transcoded”));

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“billing\_mode”, “pay\_as\_you\_go”));

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“broadcast\_location”, “us\_west\_california”)); values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“encoder”, “other\_rtmp”));

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“delivery\_method”, “push”));

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“aspect\_ratio\_width”, “1920”));

values.Add(new KeyValuePair\<string, string\>(“aspect\_ratio\_height”, “1080”));

var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(values);

var response = await client.PostAsync(url, content);

Response:
