Does anyone have working JSS REST API code in c#? I am trying to write an application that can grab basic computer information but I cannot find any good examples of C# and REST API.
If you have any sample code, sharing is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit:
I figured it out.
How about sharing. I would be interested too :-)
Regards
Graeme

@Graeme You are welcome. I actually had to update it last week to use TLS 1.2 explicitly because we upgraded to 10.8. Here is the new code:
