Try this sample code: using (var client = newHttpClient()) { client.BaseAddress = newUri( "http://localhost:55587/" ); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add( "User-Agent" , "C# console program" ); //Header Data client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add( "Param1" , "KayValue" ); //Header Data client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(newMediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue( "application/json" )); var _Body = newDepartment() { DepartmentName = "Test Department" }; //Query // Another way to pass data: HttpContent _Body = new StringContent(Body); HttpResponseMessage response = awaitclient.PostAsync( "api/Department" , _Body); response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var resp = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); } }

Updated for your case: using (var client = newHttpClient()) { client.BaseAddress = newUri( "https://test.com/" ); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add( "User-Agent" , "C# console program" ); //Header Data client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add( "Param1" , "KayValue" ); //Header Data client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(newMediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue( "application/json" )); //var _Body = newDepartment() { DepartmentName = "Test Department" }; //Query: No need for Get Method // Another way to pass data: HttpContent _Body = new StringContent(Body); HttpResponseMessage response = awaitclient.GetAsync( "api/Departmentapi/Authenticate?username=test@gmail.com" ); response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var resp = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); } }
