❔ c# post request http body

hi! im trying to make a post request to the spotify api, and i cant figure out how to add a body to the request with the value

"grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=your-client-id&client_secret=your-client-secret"

"grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=your-client-id&client_secret=your-client-secret"

my current code is

var request = WebRequest.Create("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

var request = WebRequest.Create("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
