How to send parameter in REST api in xamarin.forms ?

I have created REST API Project in xamarin using PCL.

When I call Simple REST api using Below code in Xamarin.forms (Portable Class Library) then I have Successfully receive json Response.

using (var cl = new HttpClient())
{
    var result = await cl.GetStringAsync("http://192.168.1.100/apps/jara/web/api/user/test");
    jsonResponseClass des = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<jsonResponseClass>(result);
    lbl1.Text = des.code + " " + des.status + " " + des.message;
}

public class jsonResponseClass
{
    public string code { get; set; }
    public string status { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
}

Using above code I got a response

{
code: 200,
status: "ok",
message: "hello"
}

REST API response type is JSON and type is POST

Now, I want to call below Login Api using paramater.

http://192.168.1.100/apps/jara/web/api/user/login

Paramater : email_id and Password

this api success response type is....

{
code: 200,
status: "Success",
User: {
userid: 126,
token: "d154s4d54s654df5s4df56s4df564s5df4",
email: "shahbuddin@gmail.com",
mobile_number: "9898989898"
},

message: "Successfully logged in"
}

What can i do ?

Finally i can do this using below code....

using (var cl = new HttpClient())
{
    var formcontent = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
    {
            new KeyValuePair<string,string>("email_id","shahbuddin@peerbits.com"),
            new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password","shah")
        });


    var request = await cl.PostAsync("http://192.168.1.100/apps/jara/web/api/user/login", formcontent);

    request.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

    var response = await request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

    jsonResponselogin res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<jsonResponselogin>(response);

    lbl1.Text = res.code + " " + res.status + " " + res.message;

}

This code helpful for Calling REST API with Parameter

Thank you...

What issue have you got ?

To pass parameter in a simple manner (IMO) I just use a simple DTO with fields I want to send as parameter, serialize it and done.
Don't forget the JsonProperties. Exemple with a login DTO.

   public class ClassicLoginDto
    {
        [JsonProperty("username")]
        public string username { get; set; }
        [JsonProperty("password")]
        public string password { get; set; }
    }
