C＃HttpWebRequest表单发布数据

Question

In my C# Winform application I'm trying to send form post data to a web page of Instagram:

try
{
    HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.instagram.com/create/configure/");
    req.Method = "POST";

    if (req.CookieContainer == null)
        req.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();

    foreach (System.Net.Cookie cookie in cookies)
    {
        req.CookieContainer.Add(cookie);
    }

    String postData = "upload_id=" + upload_id + "&caption=Wow&usertags=&custom_accessibility_caption=&retry_timeout=";
    var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);


    req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    req.ContentLength = data.Length;
    req.Accept = "*/*";
    req.Referer = "https://www.instagram.com/create/details/";
    req.Headers["accept-encoding"] = "gzip, deflate, br";
    req.Headers["accept-language"] = "en-US,en;q=0.9";
    req.Headers["origin"] = "https://www.instagram.com";
    req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_0_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14A403 Safari/602.1";

    req.Headers["x-requested-with"] = "XMLHttpRequest";
    req.Headers["x-ig-app-id"] = "1217981644879628";
    req.Headers["x-csrftoken"] = csrftoken;
    req.Headers["x-instagram-ajax"] = rolloutHash;

    using (Stream requestStream = req.GetRequestStream())
    {
        requestStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
        requestStream.Close();
    }

    string source;
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
    {
        source = reader.ReadToEnd();
    }

    return source;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    int t = 0;
    t++;
}

return "";

But I'm always getting 400 Exception from it. Any idea what can be the problem?

You are probably using an old version of api documentation, currently instagram api allows very limited actions. check this
