I'm trying to post the following data. But I'm getting an error. Can you please take look? Thanks a lot.

I'm posting the same data using Postman. And it works.

def _build_post_data(bike_instance): """ data = { "apikey": "XXX", "data": { "created_at": "date_XX", "Price": "Decimal_XX" } } """ data = {} raw_data = serializers.serialize('python', [bike_instance]) actual_data = [d['fields'] for d in raw_data] data.update( { "apikey": XXX, "data": actual_data[0] } ) return data

Posting data

bike = Bike.objects.get(pk=XXX) data = _build_post_data(bike) dump_data = json.dumps(data, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder) requests.post(url, data=dump_data)

error

u'{"error":{"message":"422 Unprocessable Entity","errors":[["The data field is required."],["The apikey field is required."]],"status_code":422}}'

data and apikey already in the dict. then why I'm getting an error? Any idea?

Postman works

With Postman you are sending a multipart/form-data request, with requests you only send JSON (the value of the data field in Postman), and are not including the apikey field.

Use a dictionary with the JSON data as one of the values, and pass that in as the files argument. It probably also works as the data argument (sent as application/x-www-urlencoded):

form_structure = {'apikey': 'XXXX', 'data': dump_data} requests.post(url, files=form_structure) # probably works too: requests.post(url, data=form_structure)
