• API → Key required:
  

  C#
  

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient() { BaseAddress = new Uri("https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF") };
  
  //replace YOUR_USER_NAME and YOUR_KEY
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("user", YOUR_USER_NAME);
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("key", YOUR_KEY);
  
  //result in XML
  var responseXML = await client.GetAsync("BFVUL.xml/api");
  responseXML.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();        
  var resultXML = await responseXML.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  
  //result in JSON
  var responseJSON = await client.GetAsync("BFVUL.xml.json/api");
