Answer 1

Using webapiclient with model send serialize json parameter request.

PostModel.cs

    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }

WebApiClient.cs

internal class WebApiClient  : IDisposable
  {

    private bool _isDispose;

    public void Dispose()
    {
        Dispose(true);
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }

    public void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (!_isDispose)
        {

            if (disposing)
            {

            }
        }

        _isDispose = true;
    }

    private void SetHeaderParameters(WebClient client)
    {
        client.Headers.Clear();
        client.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json");
        client.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
    }

    public async Task PostJsonWithModelAsync(string address, string data,)
    {
        using (var client = new WebClient())
        {
            SetHeaderParameters(client);
            string result = await client.UploadStringTaskAsync(address, data); //  method:
    //The HTTP method used to send the file to the resource. If null, the default is  POST 
            return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
        }
    }
}

Business caller method

    public async Task GetResultAsync(PostModel model)
    {
        try
        {
            using (var client = new WebApiClient())
            {
                var serializeModel= JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model);// using Newtonsoft.Json;
                var response = await client.PostJsonWithModelAsync("http://www.website.com/api/create", serializeModel);
                return response;
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw new Exception(ex.Message);
        }

    }
