RestSharp code generated form Postman does not work - c#

I am testing the QuickPay API in Postman and everything works fine. When I use the Postman Code Generator to generate a RestSharp snippet of the succesful result, the code does not return a status 200 against the API, and nothing happens.
I have posted the generated code her (altered the auth code though)
var client = new RestClient("http://api.quickpay.net/subscriptions/18612/recurring?Accept-Version=v10&id=18427612&amount=9900&order_id=test1234");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("postman-token", "145e85d9-0e36-4e6a-2742-b36fb3dccadb");
request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("accept-version", "v10");
request.AddHeader("authorization", "Basic OjczYWY3NzlmZDYzMjIxNGUx33yYj5266ZkO222Z322221M34334433434344ZWY=");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best regards

I found out that instead of posting parameters into the url as querystring parameters, I should post them as parameters into the reqeuest method. No need for the Postman token nor the cache-control headers. And importantly, the url should be https://api.quickpay.net/subscriptions/18612/recurring

Instagram Basic Display API: RestSharp Invalid authorization code response

Trying to to add an Instagram feed to my ASP.NET C# web app using this and this documentation
The issue is that I always get the Invalid authorization code error message when trying to get the short lived token via RestSharp call to https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token
In Postman the response is successful, is there something wrong with the RestSharp API call?
RestSharp API call
var client = new RestClient(_shortLivedTokenRequestString);
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AlwaysMultipartFormData = true;
request.AddParameter("client_id", _Instagram_App_Id, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("client_secret", _Instagram_App_Secret, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("grant_type", "authorization_code", ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("redirect_uri", _Instagram_App_Redirect_Uri, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("code", authorizationCode, ParameterType.RequestBody);

I recently had a similar problem that involved not removing the #_ added at the end of the code parameter like described here.
I don't know if thats your case but maybe it helps
My problem was that I did not remove the #_ as described in the instructions:

Postman C# code snippet working on postman and not in app

I have an XML file that is sent as form-data to a remote server. When I use postman, I receive the response that I was supposed to receive.
Postman response
Then I use the code snippet generator to port the call to my C# app, and when I run on the app it does not work.
C# response
The code snippet is:
var client = new RestClient("http://172.20.27.1/xxxxxx/xxxxxx");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Postman-Token", "1d9df75d-2c8f-4c92-b861-9f4291145846");
request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("content-type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW");
request.AddParameter("multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW", "------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"Metas\"; filename=\"C:\\Users\\agufprad\\Desktop\\Pepillo\\FLEX_REMAN_CfgRec_Final_00-00-00-4D_20190311-102223_1010039188_7000AHB.xml\"\r\nContent-Type: application/xml\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--", ParameterType.RequestBody);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Is there anything I am not seeing here?
Can you export + upload the postman collection. That would help a lot.
A couple of things I see off the bat
1) You have a postman token header - why do you need this in C#?
2) Does none multi-part data work?
3) Are you sure content type is supposed to have the boundary data?
4) There is no file associated with the snippet. Pretty sure you can't just AddParameter multi-part data. Look for AddFile, which may be your issue.
5) Does an example off the web work? Currently this looks like it would be a malformed multi-part request
Thanks to everyone for the responses, gave an idea of where to look.
Finally i added a header on the post method request.AddHeader("Accept", "text/plain");
And added the file request.AddFile(fileName, Properties.Settings.Default.SaveRoute + fileName);
Thanks a lot!
I would advice you remove any content-length param, postman-token, cookie param generated from the code generator on Postman, and it should work as its own specific request.
Remove
request.AddHeader("Postman-Token", "1d9df75d-2c8f-4c92-b861-9f4291145846");

Postman to C#(Restsharp) code snippet issue

I am feeling pretty stupid right now I can not figure this out. I am using postman to generate some C#(Rest sharp) to post a file to a restAPI.
In postman it works file the code snippet that it generates for C# does not work. The response code shows an internal server error in C#. I can not figure out where the problem is.
Here is the code snippet.
client = new RestClient("https://login.mydgsi.ca/WebAPI/Attachment?aboutType=Candidate&referenceID=1314180%20&attachmentTypeID=Resume&Name=Resume&expirationDate=1900/01/01&Note=Candidate%20REeume");
request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Postman-Token", "b339e68d-9257-44eb-8698-1f3f0c86ebfe");
request.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + secruityToken.access_token);
request.AddHeader("content-type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW");
request.AddParameter("multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW", "------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"\"; filename=\"C:\\Users\\jbungay\\Documents\\MyJabberFiles\\ddemchuk#domain.not.set\\3vertical Number 1 Resume.docx\"\r\nContent-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--", ParameterType.RequestBody);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Here is fiddler shows on the postman post. I am new to Fiddler and Postman.

Try changing "Postman-Token" to just "token". This worked for me on another project. Keep in mind the request parameters change with every request.

How to get results from a Jira Rest API request?

I want to be able to take JSON data that I get from a RestRequest to the Jira Rest API and put that information into a graph. However I am unable to even write the response data to the console. I know what information I should be getting because when I make the request in postman I get a response with the expected data in it.
Here is my code that I generated directly from postman to hopefully replicate what postman is doing inside of visual studio.
How do I get the results from the Jira Rest API request that I am making?
I'm thinking it is a relatively simple fix, but I am just not that familiar with interacting with this API.
var client = new RestClient(myCompanyURL/rest/api/2/issue/NID-3.json");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
//request.AddHeader("postman-token", "tokenGeneratedFromPostman");
request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("authorization", "Basic myEncodedInformation");
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\n\t\"fields\": {\n\t\t\"project\":\n\t\t{\n\t\t\t\"key\":\"NID\"\n\t\t},\n\t\t\"summary\": \"TEST\",\n\t\t\"description\": \"Test Description\",\n\t\t\"issuetype\": {\n\t\t\t\"name\":\"Task\"\n\t\t}\n\t}\n}", ParameterType.RequestBody);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response);

400 Bad Request when getting access token for ExactOnline using RestSharp

I need to go through the OAuth2 flow for ExactOnline but I get stuck on step 3 of the docs (https://developers.exactonline.com/#OAuth_Tutorial.html%3FTocPath%3DAuthentication%7C_____2)
I created the following c# code using the Postman chrome app for testing http requests but keep getting 400 errors (bad request). The postman app also gave me 400 errors but no matter what settings I set, I always seem to get a 400 error.
var authToken = "veryyyyyylongtoken";
var redirectUri = "the-url-I-set-in-the-dashboard";
var grantType = "authorization_code";
var clientId = "id-guid";
var clientSecret = "secret";
var exactAccesTokenRequestEndpoint = "https://start.exactonline.nl/api/oauth2/token";
var client = new RestClient(exactAccesTokenRequestEndpoint);
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", String.Format("code={0}&redirect_uri={1}&grant_type={2}&client_id={3}&client_secret={4}", authToken, exactAccesTokenRequestEndpoint, grantType, clientId, clientSecret), ParameterType.RequestBody);
var response = client.Execute(request);
How is this code wrong?
The app registered at Exact is running in test mode, not production.
Any ideas?
===== EDIT =====
Based on Gusman's pointers I changed the code to the following. This still give a 400 error.
var client = new RestClient(exactAccesTokenRequestEndpoint);
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("code", authToken, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("redirect_uri", redirectUri, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("grant_type", grantType, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("client_id", clientId, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("client_secret", clientSecret, ParameterType.RequestBody);
var response = client.Execute(request);
Your first issue is solved by Gusman.
My guess is that the second problem is related to the exactAccesTokenRequestEndpoint you have set. Exact is really picky on the URL and I doubt if that URL you have is the URL described in the App store settings in EOL. Make sure it is at least the URL given in the settings.
So if your settings contains http://localhost/abc/, your redirect_uri should be at least http://localhost/abc/ and not http://localhost/abc, which may seem valid.
Ok, solved it. Had to UrlDecode the token I got back from the Exact response in step 2, before passing it to the request in step 3. Like so:
var authToken = WebUtility.UrlDecode("code/token");
Thanks to everybody who weighted in on the matter :-)
I can't see which REST client are you using, but I can assume the "request.AddParameter" call expects Name, Content and ParamType.
If that's the case then you added it wrong, you need to do:
request.AddParameter("code", authToken, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.AddParameter("redirect_uri", redirectUri, ParameterType.RequestBody);
and so on, you must add one by one the request parameter and let the rest client construct the body.
EDIT: I see the client is only on the name, ok, that's what RestSharp expects :)
