API call with form params

Hi,

 

As per my understanding the below code :

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url,[Content = [search = search,exec_mode=exec_mode,output_mode=output_mode,offset=offset,count=count]]))

will add query params to the url

How to send form params in the POST??? (equialent of -d in curl)
