Thanks Sachin Singh..

How about the GET part of this API Call?

proceed as below
public class HomeController : Controller
      {
        //

        private readonly HttpClient client;
        private readonly string BaseUrl;

        public HomeController ()
        {
            client = new HttpClient();
            BaseUrl = "https://localhost:77321/";
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(BaseUrl);
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
        }


[HttpPost]
        public int AddProduct(ProductModel ObjProduct)
        {
            try
            {
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {

                    var res= client.PostAsJsonAsync("Product/Create", ObjProduct).Result;
                    if (res.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                    {
                        return 1;
                    }

                }
                return 0;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return 0;
            }
        }
Note :- you may need to install necessary pakages if not already installed. if your api accepts a list of product then send list of product.
