C#

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main()
    {
        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
            var content = new StringContent(
                "{\"transactionReference\":\"1234567gkgk\",\"userName\":\"test\",\"password\":\"test\"}",
                Encoding.UTF8,
                "application/json"
            );
            var response = await client.PostAsync("http://154.113.16.142:8882/postingrest/GetNIPTransactionStatus", content);
            var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            Console.WriteLine(responseString);
        }
    }
}

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

{
  "amount": "2000.45",
  "recipientBankCode": "000013",
  "recipientAccountNumber": "0045434120",
  "transactionReference": "20191119143854|999037230913163757005000082268",
  "transactionDateTime": "2023-09-13 16:30:32",
  "currency": "NGN",
  "responseMessage": "Approved or completed successfully",
  "responseCode": "00"
}
