You might need to Deserialize your anonymous JSON type from the request body  var jsonBody   HttpContext Request Content ReadAsStringAsync   Result  ScoreInputModel myDeserializedClass   JsonConvert DeserializeObject lt ScoreInputModel gt  jsonBody

You don t have to serialize the body yourself  Just do request RequestFormat   DataFormat Json  request AddJsonBody new   A    quot foo quot   B    quot bar quot         Anonymous type object is converted to Json body  If you just want POST params instead  which would still map to your model and is a lot more efficient since there s no serialization to JSON  do this  request AddParameter  quot A quot    quot foo quot    request AddParameter  quot B quot    quot bar quot

If you have a List of objects  you can serialize them to JSON as follow   List lt MyObjectClass gt  listOfObjects   new List lt MyObjectClass gt       And then use addParameter   requestREST AddParameter  myAssocKey   JsonConvert SerializeObject listOfObjects      And you wil need to set the request format to JSON   requestREST RequestFormat   DataFormat Json

In the current version of RestSharp  105 2 3 0  you can add a JSON object to the request body with   request AddJsonBody new   A    foo   B    bar        This method sets content type to application json and serializes the object to a JSON string
