Answer 1

Assuming you have a class like this to represent the payload,

class Payload
{
        public Dictionary<string, string> data { get; set; }
        public string consolidationKey { get; set;}
        public long expiresAfter { get; set; }
}

you can use HttpClient, like this.

string url = "http://api.amazon.com/messaging/registrations/1234/messages";
var client = new HttpClient();

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(
                                              "Bearer", "token");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
              new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Amzn-Type-Version",
                                   "[email protected]");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Amzn-Accept-Type",
                                "[email protected]");

var kvp = new Dictionary<string, string>();
kvp.Add("key1", "value1");
kvp.Add("key2", "value2");

var payload = new Payload()
{
    consolidationKey = "Some Key", expiresAfter = 86400, data = kvp
};

var result = client.PostAsJsonAsync<Payload>(url, payload).Result;
