I am trying to create an account on the stellar Test Network. I am using ASP .Net framework. But whenever I make a request and pass in the public key, I always get this error: Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request) . I'll add that I am using the Javascript documentation from here and converting it to C# code because I didn't find any documentation for C#. Is there anything I'm missing out? this is how the code looks: try { string url = "https://friendbot.stellar.org?addr=" + Uri.EscapeDataString(pair.PublicKey); HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url); string responseBody = await client.GetStringAsync(url); object responseObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<object>(responseBody); return Ok(responseObject); } catch(Exception ex) { return BadRequest("Could not Establish a successful connection with Stellar because " + ex.Message); }

Finally Got it to work. Switched from using the public key to using the address. try { KeyPair pair = KeyPair.Random(); string url = "https://friendbot.stellar.org?addr=" + pair.Address; string responseBody = await client.GetStringAsync(url); object responseObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<object>(responseBody); return Ok(responseObject); }catch(Exception ex) { return BadRequest("Could not Establish a connection with Stellar because " + ex.Message); }
