Use Basic Authorization And Json Parameters.

using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
                    {
                        var request_json = "your json string";

                        var content = new StringContent(request_json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

                        var authenticationBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("YourUsername:YourPassword");

                        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic",
                               Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationBytes));
                        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

                        var result = await client.PostAsync("YourURL", content);

                        var result_string = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                    }
