Hi there, As per the documentation, they showed the curl request URL is https://api.lob.com/v1/postcards And reqest type should be POST. Sample code: var client = new HttpClient(); // Create the HttpContent for the form to be posted. var requestContent = new FormUrlEncodedContent( new [] { new KeyValuePair string , string >( "something" , "here" ),}); // Get the response. HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync( "https://api.lob.com/v1/postcards" , requestContent); // Get the response content. HttpContent responseContent = response.Content; using (var reader = new StreamReader(await responseContent.ReadAsStreamAsync())) { // Write the output. Console.WriteLine(await reader.ReadToEndAsync()); } (Restsharp would be the good option to manage suchkind of things) Aslo you can see some -u, -d in doc. that all are having meaning. -u : Specify the user name and password to use for server authentication -d : Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server You can check it here: https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=curl+-d That params. you have to pass it to header and body accordingly. Hope this helps!
