[RESOLVED] Convert Python "GET" Statement to VB.NET

[NJDevils28]

Here is the answer to my question..

        Dim webClient As WebClient = New WebClient()
        webClient.QueryString.Add("api_key", apiKey)
        webClient.QueryString.Add("ip", hostName)
        Dim result As String = webClient.DownloadString(requestUrl)


        Return result

Thanks all.




Hello All,

It's been a long time since I've visited the Forums, I hope all have been well.

If someone could, would you be able to help me re-code a simple Python GET statement to VB.Net. I am having all sorts of issues trying to figure out Webrequest. I've never had to use it before. I'm not even sure if that's the way to go for this issue.

Thank you in advance,

Here is the code I'm using and I am erroring out on the response from the server.

Error ==> The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

Here is my code..

    Private Sub AnalysIPUsingMalwarecomToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles AnalysIPUsingMalwarecomToolStripMenuItem.Click
        'Get the IP Address
        Column = 4
        Row = EstablishedConDGV.CurrentCell.RowIndex
        Dim ForeignAdd As String
        ForeignAdd = EstablishedConDGV(Column, Row).FormattedValue.ToString

        ForeignAdd = "73.178.116.141"
        'ForeignAdd = "c-73-178-116-141.hsd1.nj.comcast.net"
        Dim APIKey As String = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
        Dim Malware As String = "https://public.api.malwares.com/v3/ip/info"
        Dim ReturnedData As String = GetJsonResponse(APIKey, ForeignAdd, Malware)



        MessageBox.Show(ReturnedData)
    End Sub

    Public Function GetJsonResponse(apiKey As String, hostName As String, requestUrl As String) As String
        Dim request = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CreateHttp(requestUrl)

        'these are the basic required configuration elements
        request.Headers.Item("api_key") = apiKey
        request.Host = hostName
        request.Method = Net.WebRequestMethods.Http.Get
        request.ContentType = "application/json"

        'This gets the body of the response
        Using response = request.GetResponse()
            Using reader As New IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream)
                Return reader.ReadToEnd
            End Using
        End Using
    End Function

Here is the Python Statement..

import requests 
params = {'api_key': 'API KEY', 'hostname': 'www.malwares.com'}
response = requests.get('https://public.api.malwares.com/v3/hostname/info', params=params)
json_response = response.json()
