How to receive HTML Post in console application?

I'm currently using MVC to fetch data from a HTML POST ajax call. I want to transform my web application to a console application.

Ajax call:

$.ajax({
                  type: "POST",
                  url: '/Home/Final/',
                  dataType: "json",
                  data: JSON.stringify(response),
                  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                  success: function () {
                      $('#messge').html('Response Saved').fadeIn();
                  },
                  error: function () {
                      $('#message').html('Error occured').fadeIn();
                  }

MVC code: 

[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Final(Something thing)
    {
        saveSomething(thing);
        return null;
    }

In other words, I currently call selenium to automatically fill some information on a website which then makes a POST call back to a MVC controller. Entity Framework works with or without MVC anyways.

I want to change my application to an .EXE so that I can call it periodically.

Is this possible?

Create a powershell script which invokes a web request to your controller by using Invoke-WebRequest function.

Invoke-WebRequest -ContentType application/json -Method POST -Uri https://yoururl

Then create a scheduled task in your web server and call that powershell script every 5 minutes 

powershell -command "C:\Sample.ps1"
