Send Http Get request to a web api

[Micheal_Hastrup]

I am trying to send a get request to my web api project:

[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetArtists()
{
var artists = await (from artist in _dbContext.Artists
select new
{
Id = artist.Id,
Name = artist.Name,
ImageUrl = artist.ImageUrl,
}).ToListAsync();

return Ok(artists);
}

And it showing an error message:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.QueryableMethods' threw an exception.
---> System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains more than one matching element
at System.Linq.ThrowHelper.ThrowMoreThanOneMatchException()

Please help me out.

This is the way i would do.

These type of questions should be done in Microsoft Q&A.

[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetArtists()
{
var artists =await _dbContext.Artists.ToListAsync();
return Ok(artists);
}
