Building a REST API Controller

[Divinely5782]

Hi! Cristian @CReizner i am trying to build a rest api controller with AI becuase knowledge in C# is zero)) A json response seems to be ok, but it prints incorrect active channels. Can you please give some direction on how to change code to receive correct channels?

    var activeChannelsList = new List<string>();
    foreach (var channel in chart.ActiveChannels)
    {
        var gates = channel.ToGates();
        activeChannelsList.Add($"\t(Key{(int)gates.Item1}, Key{(int)gates.Item2})");
    }

code of my controller:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using SharpAstrology.DataModels;
using SharpAstrology.Enums;
using SharpAstrology.Ephemerides;
using SharpAstrology.Interfaces;
using SharpAstrology.HumanDesign;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic
namespace CreizenerHDCalculator.Controllers
{
    [ApiController]
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    private object GenerateHumanDesignChart(DateTime birthDateTime)
        using IEphemerides eph = _ephemeridesService.CreateContext();
    var chart = new HumanDesignChart(birthDateTime, eph);

    var activeChannelsList = new List<string>();
    foreach (var channel in chart.ActiveChannels)
    {
        var gates = channel.ToGates();
        activeChannelsList.Add($"\t(Key{(int)gates.Item1}, Key{(int)gates.Item2})");
    }

    return new
    {
        Type = chart.Type.ToString(),
        Profile = chart.Profile.ToText(),
        Strategy = chart.Strategy.ToString(),
        ActiveChannels = activeChannelsList,
        DesignActivation = chart.DesignActivation.ToDictionary(
            kvp => kvp.Key.ToString(),
            kvp => new
            {
                Base = kvp.Value.Base.ToString(),
                Color = kvp.Value.Color.ToString(),
        ... the rest
;```

Many thanks for help!

I guess the problem is that you cast the gates to integer. For example, the Gate 17 has the integer number 0, because I ordered the gates along the zodiac, not by there number. What you really want is to use the extension method ToNumber() on the gate. So change
activeChannelsList.Add($"\t(Key{(int)gates.Item1}, Key{(int)gates.Item2})");
to
activeChannelsList.Add($"\t(Key{(gates.Item1.ToNumber()}, Key{gates.Item2.ToNumber()})");
