I am trying to POST an order to REST API using the below code:
string URI = "https://api.myTrade.com/s1/order/" + orderId;
string myParameters = "symbol=AAPL&duration=day&side=buy&quantity=1&type=limit&price=1";
Console.Write("Parameters : " + myParameters + "\n");
using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
{
wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = "Bearer " + token
wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Accept] = "application/json";
string responsebody = wc.UploadString(URI, myParameters);
//Console.Write("Output : " + responsebody + " ");
dynamic dynObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(responsebody);
return responsebody;
}
I am getting the following exception:
Input String was not in a correct format.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The HttpWebRequest class provides a lot of control over the request/response object. However, you should be aware that HttpClient was never designed to be a replacement for WebClient. You should use HttpWebRequest instead of HttpClient whenever you need the additional features that HttpWebRequest provides.
The WebClient class provides common methods for sending data to or receiving data from any local, intranet, or Internet resource identified by a URI. The WebClient class uses the WebRequest class to provide access to resources.
Use HttpClient to make REST API calls and other type of requests. Below is the code for making a request. using var client = new HttpClient();
There should be a
?
after the orderId before the parameters' string. Also try URL Encoding

and

Hope it helps.
