How can I get "How many Network data(Mobile or WiFi) used when I call API in c# desktop application"

Question

How can I get "How many Network data(Mobile or WiFi) used when I call API in c# desktop application" I want to know How can i get total used data when i call API service

I have done following code:

if (!NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable())
    return;

NetworkInterface[] interfaces
    = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();

foreach (NetworkInterface ni in interfaces)
{
    Console.WriteLine("    Bytes Sent: {0}",
        ni.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesSent);
    Console.WriteLine("    Bytes Received: {0}",
        ni.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesReceived);
    lblCarrierCharge.Text = " Bytes Received: " + ni.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesReceived;
}

API CALL

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(cloudEndpoint);
request.Method = "Get";
long inputLength = request.ContentLength;
long outputLength = 0;
string responseContent = "";

DateTime beginTimestamp = DateTime.Now;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

I want to calculate how many data used when I Call api using `HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();` — Hardik Masalawala, Oct 08 '19 at 18:50
Does the `BytesReceived` return 0? throw an exception? is null? What i think you should do is save the current values of those properties. Then after your request, get them again and subtract. — DevEstacion, Oct 08 '19 at 19:06

To compute for the total bytes received per call. You'd want to save the current value of .GetIPv4Statistics().BytesReceived and then after your call, perform the same call and subtract the new value to the previous one.

int previousNetworkBytesSent = 0;

foreach (NetworkInterface ni in interfaces)
{
    previousNetworkBytesSent += ni.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesReceived;
}

// perform your call here

int newNetworkBytesSent = 0;

foreach (NetworkInterface ni in interfaces)
{
    newNetworkBytesSent += ni.GetIPv4Statistics().BytesReceived;
}

int totalBytesUsed = newNetworkBytesSent - previousNetworkBytesSent;

Check if the data type is appropriate, and feel free to optimize this.
