I'm trying to replicate this cURL onliner:

curl -i -XPOST 'http://httpbin.org/post?db=data' --data-binary 'files,host=server10,folder=max value=0.64 1434055562121200000'

to python with the help of python-requests.

I've tried:

import requests payload = {'files,host=server10,folder=max value=0.64 1434055562121200000':'\n'} or payload = {'files,host':'server10,folder=max value=0.64 1434055562121200000'} or {'files,host=server10,folder=max value=0.64 1434055562121200000':''} or {'files,host=server10,folder=max value=0.64 1434055562121200000'} r = requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post?db=data', data=payload)

I need some pointers or help to get past this snag, because it's possible right?

Answering my self.

import requests url = 'http://10.10.10.10:8086/write?db=data' headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} payload = "cpu,host=server01,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000\n" r = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)

With this, posting to influxdb via python works the same as the above cURL onliner.

Thanks, helped me a lot. Couldn't find the right header to use here.
