I am trying to fetch an API REST response but the API’s URL has an “?” in the URL (see example below). 

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://api.mydomain.com/news/?tag=sports") as HttpWebRequest;

Is there a way to escape this?

I tried Uri.EscapeUriString and HttpUtility.HtmlEncode but that is not working either.

Any ideas?

    You don’t need to escape anything. The ? is what separates the path portion of the url from the query string portion. http://api.mydomain.com/news/?tag=sports is a perfectly valid url.

    Or maybe your API expects: http://api.mydomain.com/news/sports? Difficult to say without knowing which API you are trying to consume.
