title: Getting Shopify order data with asp.net c# via JSON
body: <p>I'm working on trying to build a really simple web application that grabs order data from Shopify's API and displays it in a pretty format.</p>
  
  <p>I'm a front-end developer by day, and back in the day I wrote lots of classic asp, but asp.net and JSON are both new to me.</p>
  
  <p>I spent the past weekend scouring the web for any articles that could give me a quick tutorial, or some really simple sample code for how to do the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Make a call to the Shopify API (<a href="http://docs.shopify.com/api/order#show" rel="nofollow">http://docs.shopify.com/api/order#show</a>) to retrieve an order record</li>
  <li>Convert the JSON response to grab the customer's first name and last name, and make a list of the line items on their order. Then, nicely formatting it and displaying it in html.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I found json.net and I read a bit about the httpclient in asp.net.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any really simple sample code, or any links to tutorials, that a beginner like me could use to learn how to use asp.net c# to pull shopify data and display it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
