How to use HttpClient instead of RestClient in a .NET 6

For example my rest client looks something like this:

 var client = new RestClient("test/oauth/token");
        var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
        request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
        request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\"client_id\":\test123123123\",\"client_secret\":\"fsdfsdhkfsjdhf\",\"audience\":\"https://test.auth0.com/api/v2/\",\"grant_type\":\"client_credentials\"}", ParameterType.RequestBody);
        IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

The code above works but I wanted to convert this to HTTP client instead, just not sure how to do it

The are a lot of examples including official documentation on how to make requests with HttpClient. For example:

static async Task PostAsJsonAsync(HttpClient httpClient)
{
    using HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsJsonAsync(
        "todos", 
        new Todo(UserId: 9, Id: 99, Title: "Show extensions", Completed: false));

    response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode()
        .WriteRequestToConsole();

    var todo = await response.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<Todo>();
    WriteLine($"{todo}\n");

    // Expected output:
    //   POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos HTTP/1.1
    //   Todo { UserId = 9, Id = 201, Title = Show extensions, Completed = False }
}

Currently the recommended pattern of setting up/creating/consuming HttpClient's is by using IHttpClientFactory:
