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!
