I'd like to post my dictionary list below via python's http requests.

my_data=[ { 'kl':'ngt', 'schemas': [ { 'date':'14-12-2022', 'name':'kolo' } ], }, { 'kl':'mlk', 'schemas': [ { 'date':'23-10-2022', 'name':'maka' } ] } ]

trying to do

url='http://myapi.com/product x=requests.post(url,json=my_data)

after execution it does not post the products on the database

  • Multiple things can happen here. Do you have an http response code or a stacktrace to share. There are not enough details with your current question. Commented Nov 15, 2022 at 13:07
  • status code is different from 200, is in these condition used data=my_data instead of json=my_data Commented Nov 15, 2022 at 13:12

I think when you want to send json payload in post request you should add headers argument:

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept':'application/json'} r = requests.post(url = 'http://myapi.com/product', data = my_data, headers=headers) response_result = r.text

then check response status code of the post request, If it isn't 200 then post request doesn't completed successfully.

the code is different from 200 , i will like to know using json=my_data is valid , if it is known that my_data is a dictionary list
@PathiaNanto check the documentation for making requests: requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart/…
Normally with json= you can pass a dict. Currently you pass a list, it might be a problem (did not double check on my side). What is your http status?
@Oghli I would like to turn my dictionary list into a dictionary like this, all_data={ {...},{...} } ?
@PathiaNanto see this post on stackoverflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/5236296/…
