If you using wcf service with json, you can implement sample post method i used in my one of projects. You need newtonsoft json package;

    public static ResponseCL PostPurchOrder(PurchaseOrder order)
    {
        ResponseCL res = new ResponseCL();
        string methodUrl = $"{_main.ws_url}/AddPurchaseOrder";
        var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(methodUrl);
        httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json;";
        //if use basic auth//
        //string username = "user";
        //string password = "1234";
        //string encoded = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
        //httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);
        httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
        using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
        {
            streamWriter.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(order));
            streamWriter.Flush();
        }

        var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
        using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
            res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
        }
        return res;
    }

Another way using Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client package like this;

    public static ResponseCL PostPurchOrder2(PurchaseOrder order)
    {
        ResponseCL res = new ResponseCL();
        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            string methodUrl = $"{_main.ws_url}/AddPurchaseOrder";
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
            var response = client.PostAsJsonAsync(methodUrl, order);
            response.Wait();
            if (response.Result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                string responseString = response.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(responseString);
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
