Make simple POST-Requests with Powershell

I searched the whole web but I guess I overlook something simple.

I want to send a FORM with the Keys "Foo" and the Value "Bar" as POST to URL "api.foobar.com".

In Python I could have done it in 2 Minutes but I am new to PowerShell and want to learn it. So maybe someone can help me.

edit:

I tried the following:

$Body = @{
    Foo = 'Bar'
 }
 Invoke-WebRequest 'http://api.foobar.com' -Body $Body -Method 
 'POST'

and the API answers "Value Foo is missing". The API expects "Foo" als key and "Bar" is the value. The response of the API is JSON.

If the query should or can be JSON try something like:

    $JSONQuery = '
    {
        "Foo":"Bar"
    }'
    Invoke-WebRequest 'http://api.foobar.com' -Body $JSONQuery -Method 'POST' -ContentType "application/json"
