Answer 1

You can use this method within a Script Task to make the api call using httpclient:
public void Post(Produto produto)
{
var client = new HttpClient;
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:5001/api/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear();
//client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
//client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("ApiKey", "");
var jsonBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(produto);
client.PostAsync("createproduto", new StringContent(jsonBody, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));
}

You can make use of the namespace System.Net.WebClient to make the Http request with the help of Script Task in SSIS. Following example shows how this can be achieved. The example was created in SSIS 2008 R2.
public void Main()
{
Variables varCollection = null;
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::RemoteUri");
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::LocalFolder");
Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(ref varCollection);
System.Net.WebClient myWebClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
string webResource = varCollection["User::RemoteUri"].Value.ToString();
string fileName = varCollection["User::LocalFolder"].Value.ToString() + webResource.Substring(webResource.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
byte[] data;
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
data = client.DownloadData(webResource);
}
FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileName);
file.Directory.Create(); // If the directory already exists, this method does nothing.
File.WriteAllBytes(file.FullName, data);
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
