Handling Exceptions caused by HTTP Request

Important Points:

• Runtime errors can occur when making API requests. The most notable case is if the URL / URI provided is invalid;
• We use try-catch blocks to enclose the GetAsync method to make it safe;
• The HttpResponseMessage class has an IsSuccessStatusCode attribute, which has the value true in case the API successfully responds with the requested data;
• HttpResponseMessage also has a StatusCode attribute which represents the response status code. You can learn more about status codes here;
• HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers returned by a server in response to a client's request made to a website or web server. They provide information about the outcome of the request and help troubleshoot issues.
