I'm trying to get the nodes inside a JSON request, this: https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails?appids=731490

But it's returning a format that a online json convert doesn't recognize and i can't get the values of nodes with C#.

Currently, i'm trying:

var gameInfo = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<object>(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
JObject jObject = JObject.Parse(gameInfo.ToString());
string header = (string)jObject.SelectToken("header_image");

But it return null for all properties. How do i access the header_image that is inside json object?

EDIT: JSON SAMPLE

    Well i went to jsonlint.com posted the output from your link and it shows as valid json... so i am not sure what you mean. Also your json seems to have HTML portions in it. so you might want to html decode the response after the fact. Commented Mar 2, 2020 at 20:52

    I would recommend that you create an actual model. Commented Mar 2, 2020 at 20:54

Use a strongly typed model.

This is what I did.

  1. Tested the JSON at https://jsonlint.com/ to make sure it is valid.
  2. Used http://json2csharp.com/ to generate a strongly typed model.

I was able to read the entire contents of the JSON in this link: https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails?appids=731490

This is how made it work:

var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);

The model I used is this: Notice that the RootObject inherits from 

Dictionary<string, AppRoot>

Notice also that the name of the "invalid" type is now AppRoot.

This will now support multiple Apps by ID

  public class RootObject: Dictionary<string, AppRoot>

The RootObject class can instead be replaced by a Dictionary<string, Type__7314890>. That would allow the model to support any App ID.
@RJ yes i agree
Well @JonathanAlfaro this worked fine, but only for appID: 731490, if i try another, like 546560, then it don't works, is there a way to set this jsonproperty dinamically?
@Bazz yes sure.... I will change my answer to be dynamic. Please mark as answered if it works for you
It Worked. Thank you for your patience.

JObject.SelectToken expects a path to a particular token. It doesn't traverse the object to find anything with a matching name.

Looking at the object, the root object seems to have a single property with the key being the app id. That in turn has two properties, success and data, with data containing the actual info you seek.

The following works for me:

using var client = new HttpClient();
var text = await client.GetStringAsync("https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails?appids=731490");
var jo = JObject.Parse(text);
var header = (string)jo.SelectToken("731490.data.header_image");

Having a strongly typed model would make this easier in the long run, though.

How do i type if the number, 731490 is dynamic? i mean, the number is an app id, an if i send another app id, the number changes, so if i try to type this json on json2csharp.com it gives me a error
appId + ".data.header_image", or $"{appId}.data.header_image", or jo[appId].SelectToken("data.header_image"), or...
Thank you for your answer, it worked, but then i had another problem, but your answer worked, and thank you so much for replying.

I think you must await your method to reduce thread locks

var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

Then you could try this

var gameInfo = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(content);
string header = gameInfo["731490"]["data"]["header_image"];

To ignore first dynamic element: 

gameInfo.Properties().Children().ToList()[0]["data"]["header_image"]
