You can use the REST API asp.net or web-api with the following code.

Install the webapi client NuGet package for this:

    public class YourClass
    {
        private const string URL = "http://your_path/ob.json";
        private string urlParameters = "?api_key=123";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(URL);

            // Add an Accept header for JSON format.
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
            new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            // List data response.
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(urlParameters).Result;  // Blocking call!
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {

            }
            else
            {
                // handle if false
            }  
        }
    }
