Need a working NEST REST API example without using the Firebase API

Question

I'm struggling to find a working example of writing data in the Nest Thermostat API, using a simple rest. Trying to write a C # application and not use Firebase. A few Curl examples published so far do not work. I have a valid auth_token and you can read the data without problems. Finding the right URL is elusive. Can anyone help?

Examples for example

curl -v -X PUT "https://developer-api.nest.com/structures/g-9y-2xkHpBh1MGkVaqXOGJiKOB9MkoW1hhYyQk2vAunCK8a731jbg?auth=<AUTH_TOKEN>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"away":"away"}'

do not change any data.

Answer 1

Two things. Redirect first with -L. Secondly, direct location at the data location, for example

curl -v -L -X PUT "https://developer-api.nest.com/structures/g-9y-2xkHpBh1MGkVaqXOGJiKOB9MkoW1hhYyQk2vAunCK8a731jbg/away?auth=<AUTH_TOKEN>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '"away"'

PUT . {"away":"away"}.

    using System.Net.Http;

private async void changeAway()
{
    using (HttpClient http = new HttpClient()) 
    {
        string url = "https://developer-api.nest.com/structures/" + structure.structure_id + "/?auth=" + AccessToken;
        StringContent content = new StringContent("{\"away\":\"home\"}"); // derived from HttpContent
        HttpResponseMessage rep = await http.PutAsync(new Uri(url), content);
        if (null != rep)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("http.PutAsync2=" + rep.ToString());
        }
    }
}

Debug.WriteLine : "http.PutAsync2 = StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: 'OK', : 1.1, : System.Net.Http.StreamContent, : { Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Cache-Control: no-cache, max-age = 0, private -: 15 Content-Type: application/json; = UTF-8 } "

.
