private static string token = "test token";

        static async Task GetFirstPlugin()
        {
            string url = $"http://cwa.api.sellercloud.com/api/Catalog/Exports/ViaPlugin/Metadata";

            using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
            {
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
                HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = await client.GetAsync(url);

                var content = responseMessage.Content
                                             .ReadAsStringAsync()
                                             .Result;

                var profiles = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);
                return profiles.Plugins
                               .First()
                               .Key;
            }
        }

        static async Task Export(string plugin)
        {
            string url = $"http://cwa.api.sellercloud.com/api/Catalog/Exports/ViaPlugin";
            var content = new ExportRequest()
            {
                ProductIds = new string[] { "test" },
                PluginProfileKey = plugin,
                FileFormat = FileFormat.Excel
            };

            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, url))
            {
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);

                var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(content);
                using (var stringContent = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"))
                {
                    request.Content = stringContent;

                    HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = await client.SendAsync(request);
                    var jobLink = await responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                }
            }
        }

        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var plugin = await GetFirstPlugin();

            var jobLink = await Export(plugin);
        }
