Calling an External Web API from Controller - No Jquery

The challenge is to call an external API and put it into a model you can use. The example below has a simple model STAPI_DTO which has two string fields - one of which is a client key which is what I am after string serviceURL = "https://someurl" + appt.POSID; var client = new WebClient(); //where STAPI_DTO is my model  STAPI_DTO st = new STAPI_DTO();   STAPI_DTO result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (client.DownloadString(serviceURL));  string clientkey = result.APIKEY;
