How to send x-www-form-urlencoded in a post request in webclient?


I know I can send json but I couldn't find how to send x-www-form-urlencoded. I don't know what to try as I couldn't find anything.

WebClient wc = new WebClient();


string data = "channel_id=+12039273888&channel_type=phone&channel_verification=514950";

wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

string result = wc.UploadString("http://3.86.171.88/api/login", data);

System.Console.WriteLine(result);

Solution

  • You can use UploadString() method on WebClient class like

    string data = "name=john&age=20&city=Uganda";
    using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
    {
        client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        string result = client.UploadString(url of api resource, data);
    }
