      HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
      HttpClientHandler httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
      var apiInstance = new DefaultApi(httpClient, config, httpClientHandler);
      var dataPostRequest = new List<PushData>() {
        new PushData() {
          Key = "<Metric_name>",
          Value = 123,
          Date = "<Date_in_ISO8601>",
          Unit = "<Unit>", // Optional
          Attributes = new List<PushDataAttribute>() { // Optional
            new PushDataAttribute() {
