                    request.Method = "POST";
                    request.Headers.Add("aftership-api-key:*************************");

                        StreamReader readStream = null;

                        if (response.CharacterSet == "")
                            readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream);
                        else
                            readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.GetEncoding(response.CharacterSet));
                        //  List<string> list = new List<string>();
                        string data = readStream.ReadToEnd();
.

    "tracking": {
        "slug": "dhl",
        "tracking_number": "123456789",
        "title": "Title Name",
    }
