REST

I want to consume rest api having post method in my project (web)/Windows service(C#).

Url : https://sampleurl.com/api1/token

I need to pass username and password for generating token. I have written code like this.

string sURL = "https://sampleurl.com/api1/token/Actualusername/Actualpassword";
            WebRequest wrGETURL;
            wrGETURL = WebRequest.Create(sURL);

            wrGETURL.Method = "POST";
            wrGETURL.ContentType = @"application/json; charset=utf-8";
            wrGETURL.ContentLength = 0;
            HttpWebResponse webresponse = wrGETURL.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

            Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
            // read response stream from response object
            StreamReader loResponseStream = new StreamReader(webresponse.GetResponseStream(), enc);
            // read string from stream data
            string  strResult = loResponseStream.ReadToEnd();
            // close the stream object
            loResponseStream.Close();
            // close the response object
            webresponse.Close();

            Response.Write(strResult);

am getting error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Is it right way to consume rest api in C#?

What I have tried:

string sURL = "https://sampleurl.com/api1/token/Actualusername/Actualpassword";
            WebRequest wrGETURL;
            wrGETURL = WebRequest.Create(sURL);

            wrGETURL.Method = "POST";
            wrGETURL.ContentType = @"application/json; charset=utf-8";
            wrGETURL.ContentLength = 0;
            HttpWebResponse webresponse = wrGETURL.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

            Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
            // read response stream from response object
            StreamReader loResponseStream = new StreamReader(webresponse.GetResponseStream(), enc);
            // read string from stream data
            string  strResult = loResponseStream.ReadToEnd();
            // close the stream object
            loResponseStream.Close();
            // close the response object
            webresponse.Close();

            Response.Write(strResult);
