    string s2 = "&batch=" + Server.UrlEncode(" [ { \"method\": \"get\", \"relative_url\":\"search?type=adgeolocation&location_types=city&region_id=3871&country_code=us&limit=3000&q=a\" }, { \"method\": \"get\", \"relative_url\": \"search?type=adgeolocation&location_types=city&region_id=3871&country_code=us&limit=3000&q=b\" } ]");

        byte[] bytedata = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(s1 + s2);
        httpRequest.ContentLength = bytedata.Length;
        Stream requestStream = httpRequest.GetRequestStream();
        requestStream.Write(bytedata,0,bytedata.Length);
      requestStream.Close();
        StreamReader reader;
        HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) httpRequest.GetResponse()

            using (var responsestream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream())

                reader = new StreamReader(responsestream, encoding: Encoding.UTF8);
            }


        var apiData = reader.ReadToEnd();
        Response.Write(apiData);
        var data = JArray.Parse(apiData).ToString();
        //var s = data["data"].ToString();
        var x = JArray.Parse(data);
        return x;
    }

The problem is with your using statement

using (var responsestream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
    reader = new StreamReader(responsestream, encoding: Encoding.UTF8);
}

At the end of the using statement the stream gets disposed so it no longer works when you try read to end. It should work if you re-write like this.

byte[] apiData; 
using (var responsestream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
    reader = new StreamReader(responsestream, encoding: Encoding.UTF8);
    apiData = reader.ReadToEnd();
}

Then the stream is disposed after reading all the data.
