I'm using a method (from an API) that return an object which is a string

As long as the thing the method returns is really a string[], then this
should work:

object o = ApiMethodThatReturnsObject();

string[] s = (string[])o;

Or just:
string[] sa = (string[]) ApiMethod();

or

string[] sa = ApiMethod() as string[];
if ( sa == null )
Console.Writeline("object null or not string[].");
