Error in ASP.NET Core MVC and Web API project - asp.net-core

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core MVC and also Web API project.
This error occurs when I try to send project information to the API (of course API works fine and I do not think there is a problem):
UnsupportedMediaTypeException: No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read a "TokenModel" object of "text / plain" media content.
My code is:
public class TokenModel
{
public string Token { get; set; }
}
and in AuthController I have:
var _Client = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient("MyApiClient");
var jsonBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(login);
var content = new StringContent(jsonBody, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = _Client.PostAsync("/Api/Authentication", content).Result;
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var token = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<TokenModel>().Result;
}
The error occurs on this line:
var token = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<TokenModel>().Result;
HomeController:
public IActionResult Index()
{
var token = User.FindFirst("AccessToken").Value;
return View(_user.GetAllUsers(token));
}
UserRepository:
public List<UserViewModel> GetAllUsers(string token)
{
_client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
var res = _client.GetStringAsync(UrlMyApi).Result;
List<UserViewModel> users = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<UserViewModel>>(res);
return users;
}

Your API is returning content-type of text/plain and none of the default media type formatters(MediaTypeFormatter) which ReadAsAsync<string>() will try to use support parsing it as is. They work with JSON/XML. You can go a couple of ways but maybe the easiest is to read the content as string and deserialize it after:
var tokenJSON = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TokenModel>(tokenJSON);
Also, as you're using the Async methods, you should be returning Task from your actions and await the result instead of using .Result as you're just creating overhead currently.
var tokenJSON = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TokenModel>(tokenJSON);
