[HttpPost]
[Route("api/account/post")]
public async Task<string> Post([FromBody]Account account)
{
try
{
string accessToken = authenticateAsync();
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
//Default Request Headers needed to be added in the HttpClient Object
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-Version", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

//Set the Authorization header with the Access Token received specifying the Credentials
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);

httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(webApiUrl);

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "accounts")
{
Content = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(account), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")
};

using (HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request))
{
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) //204
{
var entityUri = response.Headers.GetValues("OData-EntityId").FirstOrDefault();
return entityUri;
}
}
return string.Empty;
}
