You can try to use Jenkins API to obtain the crumbs based on the authentication (user/pass or user/token).

I'll paste below some code illustrating how to do that (it's powershell but the idea is the same and it's straight-forward to translate it to C#):

$user = 'user'
$pass = 'password'

# The header is the username and password concatenated together
$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"
# The combined credentials are converted to Base 64
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))
# The base 64 credentials are then prefixed with "Basic"
$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
# This is passed in the "Authorization" header
$Headers = @{
    Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}
# Make a request to get a crumb. This will be returned as JSON
$json = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'http://jenkinsserver/jenkins/crumbIssuer/api/json' -Headers $Headers
# Parse the JSON so we can get the value we need
$parsedJson = $json | ConvertFrom-Json
# See the value of the crumb
Write-Host "The Jenkins crumb is $($parsedJson.crumb)"
# Extract the crumb filed from the returned json, and assign it to the "Jenkins-Crumb" header
$BuildHeaders = @{
    "Jenkins-Crumb" = $parsedJson.crumb
    Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://jenkinsserver/jenkins/job/Run%20a%20script/build" -Headers $BuildHeaders -Method Post
