Hi Ritu, You can create a Response class like below public class Response { public int SuccessCount { get ; set ; } public int errorCount { get ; set ; } public ListUpdateAmount ObjUpdateAmount { get ; set ; } } Now you can call your API and return the Response along with Success and error count like below. public static Response UpdateLineItem( string _uninvoiced_amount, int id, string _UpdateUninvoicedAmountJSON) { int SuccessCount = 0; int errorCount = 0; Response rsp = new Response(); try { ListUpdateAmount ObjUpdateAmount = null ; string uninvoiced_amountUpdUrl = "//ewws/EWUpdate/.json?$KB=abc&$table=xyz&$login=xxx& $password=xxx&$lang=en&uninvoiced_amount=" + _uninvoiced_amount + "&id=" + id + "" ; string uninvoiced_amountUpdUrlFull = string .Format( "{0}{1}" , ClientConfiguration.Default.UriString.TrimEnd( '/' ), uninvoiced_amountUpdUrl); var httpWebRequestUpd = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uninvoiced_amountUpdUrlFull); httpWebRequestUpd.ContentType = "application/json" ; httpWebRequestUpd.Method = "POST" ; using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequestUpd.GetRequestStream())) { streamWriter.Write(_UpdateUninvoicedAmountJSON); streamWriter.Flush(); streamWriter.Close(); } var httpResponseUpd = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequestUpd.GetResponse(); using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponseUpd.GetResponseStream())) { var JSON_Result = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); ObjUpdateAmount = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (JSON_Result); if (ObjUpdateAmount.success == true ) { SuccessCount++; _uninvoiced_amount = ObjUpdateAmount.result.uninvoiced_amount; id = ObjUpdateAmount.result.id; } Console.WriteLine( "update successfully" + _uninvoiced_amount + count); } rsp.SuccessCount = SuccessCount; rsp.ObjUpdateAmount = ObjUpdateAmount; } catch (Exception ex) { errorCount++; rsp.errorCount = errorCount; throw new Exception(ex.Message,ex.InnerException); } return rsp; }

public static ListUpdateAmount UpdateLineItem(string _uninvoiced_amount, int id, string _UpdateUninvoicedAmountJSON) { try { int count = 0; ListUpdateAmount ObjUpdateAmount = null; string uninvoiced_amountUpdUrl = "//ewws/EWUpdate/.json?$KB=abc&$table=xyz&$login=xxx& $password=xxx&$lang=en&uninvoiced_amount=" + _uninvoiced_amount + "&id=" + id + ""; string uninvoiced_amountUpdUrlFull = string.Format("{0}{1}", ClientConfiguration.Default.UriString.TrimEnd('/'), uninvoiced_amountUpdUrl); var httpWebRequestUpd = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uninvoiced_amountUpdUrlFull); httpWebRequestUpd.ContentType = "application/json"; httpWebRequestUpd.Method = "POST"; using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequestUpd.GetRequestStream())) { streamWriter.Write(_UpdateUninvoicedAmountJSON); streamWriter.Flush(); streamWriter.Close(); } var httpResponseUpd = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequestUpd.GetResponse(); using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponseUpd.GetResponseStream())) { var JSON_Result = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); ObjUpdateAmount = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (JSON_Result); if (ObjUpdateAmount.success == true) { count++; _uninvoiced_amount = ObjUpdateAmount.result.uninvoiced_amount; id = ObjUpdateAmount.result.id; } Console.WriteLine("update successfully" + _uninvoiced_amount + count); } return ObjUpdateAmount; } catch(Exception ex) { throw ex; } }

Hi, If you are using ajax then you can use "done()" and "error()" callback methods to identify success and error count . Ex- var successCount=0; var errorCount=0; $.ajax({ type: "GET" , url: 'url' , dataType: 'json' , data: {}, error: function (xhr, error){ //error reason can be seen in "error" object errorCount = errorCount+1; }, success: function (data){ successCount = successCount +1; } });

Hi Ritu, The given code will return only success or error count with the response, you can call the api multiple times using a loop and can store the counts in a global variable.
