I'm trying to send the following Request body (Using Splunk Rest API, C#):
search = |inputlookup mylookup | eval week_ago=strftime(relativetime(now(), "-7d@d"), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") | where record_created>week_ago

Post request to:
https://mysplunkuri:8089/servicesNS/~/search/search/jobs
Headers:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: Basic (base64Stringofmycredentials)

And got 400 bad request.

If I'm trying the following query:
search = |inputlookup mylookup | where record_created>"2019-04-16 00:00:00"

Its return status code 200 (OK).

All the queries above works in splunk.

What I'm doing wrong?
