        {
            return Ok(await HttpClientWrapper<AddressViewModel>.Get(_urlBrasilApi + $"cep/v1/{cep}"));
        }

HttpClientWrapper.cs

        public static async Task<T> Get(string url)
        {
            T result = null;
            using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
            {
                var response = httpClient.GetAsync(new Uri(url)).Result;

                if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    throw new Exception(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());
                }

                await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ContinueWith((Task<string> x) =>
                {
                    if (x.IsFaulted)
                        throw x.Exception;

                    result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(x.Result);
                });
            }

            return result;
        }
