If you can, we recommend using the .NET SDK for C# projects:

In that SDK, the respective methods are:

Otherwise, you'll need to make the HTTP calls using whatever HTTP client you'd like.

By the way, I redacted your access token, but for the sake of security, you should disable that access token. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here:

Or, you can disable just this access token using the /disable_access_token endpoint:
