json deserialization

Mar 31 2021 10:25 PM
I have some json returned form and API in the following format and I'm trying to pull the separate "items" into a list of items:
 
{"meta":{"page":1,"count":41,"pageCount":1,"totalCount":41},
"items":[
{
"agentId":"007",
"presence":{"since":"2020-06-25T18:42:41.871Z","name":"Ready","description":"Ready","eligibleForRouting":true},
"workload":{"since":"2020-06-29T13:08:38.666Z","calls":0,"semiLive":0,"nonLive":0},
"interaction":[]},
{
"agentId":"1000",
"presence":{"since":"2021-03-08T18:15:37.567Z","name":"ExtendedAway","description":"In Meeting","eligibleForRouting":false},
"workload":{"since":"2020-12-31T19:52:06.495Z","calls":0,"semiLive":0,"nonLive":0},

I have custom classes as follows:
  1. public class AgentStatus  
  2. {  
  3. [JsonProperty("agentId")]  
  4. public string AgentID { get; set; }  
  5. [JsonProperty("presence")]  
  6. public Presence Presence { get; set; }  
  7. [JsonProperty("workload")]  
  8. public Workload Workload { get; set; }  
  9. [JsonProperty("interaction")]  
  10. public Interaction Interaction { get; set; }  
  11. }  
  12. public class Presence  
  13. {  
  14. [JsonProperty("since")]  
  15. public string Since { get; set; }  
  16. [JsonProperty("name")]  
  17. public string Name { get; set; }  
  18. [JsonProperty("description")]  
  19. public string Description { get; set; }  
  20. [JsonProperty("eligibleForRouting")]  
  21. public bool EligibleForRouting { get; set; }  
  22. }  
  23. public class Workload  
  24. {  
  25. [JsonProperty("since")]  
  26. public string Since { get; set; }  
  27. [JsonProperty("calls")]  
  28. public string Calls { get; set; }  
  29. [JsonProperty("semiLive")]  
  30. public bool SemiLive { get; set; }  
  31. [JsonProperty("nonLive")]  
  32. public bool NonLive { get; set; }  
  33. }  
  34. public class Interaction  
  35. {  
  36. [JsonProperty("guid")]  
  37. public string Guid { get; set; }  
  38. [JsonProperty("channelGuid")]  
  39. public string ChannelGuid { get; set; }  
  40. [JsonProperty("since")]  
  41. public string Since { get; set; }  
  42. [JsonProperty("medium")]  
  43. public string Medium { get; set; }  
  44. [JsonProperty("mediumManager")]  
  45. public string MediumManager { get; set; }  
  46. [JsonProperty("direction")]  
  47. public string Direction { get; set; }  
  48. [JsonProperty("state")]  
  49. public string State { get; set; }  
  50. [JsonProperty("reason")]  
  51. public string Reason { get; set; }  
  52. }  
I'm trying to deserialize with the following code:
  1. IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);  
  2. dynamic json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<AgentStatus>>(response.Content.ToString());  
But get an error: "Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: 'Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`"
 
I'm admittedly very new to working with JSON responses.
