Is there a RestSharp implementation that works with Portable Class Libraries?

Question

When I try to add RestSharp to a portable class library project using nuget, I get the following:

Could not install package 'RestSharp 104.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.0,Profile=Profile104', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I assume then it is not supported? If that be the case anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Answer 1

Another interesting option is Flurl

Flurl is a modern, fluent, asynchronous, testable, portable, buzzword-laden URL builder and HTTP client library.

Code snippet:

var result = await "https://api.mysite.com"
    .AppendPathSegment("person")
    .SetQueryParams(new { a = 1, b = 2 })
    .WithOAuthBearerToken("my_oauth_token")
    .PostJsonAsync(new { first_name = "Frank", last_name = "Underwood" })
    .ReceiveJson<T>();

Answer 2

You have a portable RestSharp working at:

https://github.com/Geodan/geoserver-csharp/tree/master/RestSharp

It seems it's working well... It uses Json.net portable version too

Answer 3

You may try RestSharp.Portable. This is a library which offers an API very similar to RestSharp.
