How to make an HTTP request for authentication in swift?

Hi everyone, I need to make the following HTTP request:

curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "api_key:95640" -d "password" https://api.website.com/account.json/authenticate/username

I can make it work by using curl, but I'm quite in trouble when making the same HTTP request in swift.

How can I translate this request in swift? In particular, how can I add the "Content-Type" and the "api_key" as header's parameters?

Thanks a lot, bye!
