You have to use the [FromBody] attribute with a model parameter.

public class Credentials
{
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

public IActionResult Login([FromBody]Credentials creds)
{
    // do stuff
}

This is because in ASP.NET Core MVC the default content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded (for handling HTML form data). The [FromBody] attribute tells the model binder to instead try and create the model from JSON content.
