Cannot have POST Data sent with python module Requests

Question

I have 2 django server. I want to send some POST data from the server A to server B.

I use this code on server A to send data (I simply follow the tutorial ) :

payload = {"contenu" : Contenu, "ID" : hashage}
payload_json = json.dumps(payload, separators=(',', ': '))
with open('backend/config.json') as json_data:
    facto = json.load(json_data)
    json_data.close
hostnamefacto = facto["Factory"]["IP"]
portFacto = facto["Factory"]["port"]
reponse = requests.post('http://'+hostnamefacto+':'+portFacto+'/outil/test/', data = payload_json)

On server B, I use this code to get data :

try:
    contenu = request.POST['contenu']
except KeyError:
    contenu = None
try:
    ID = request.POST['ID']
except KeyError:
    ID = None

But ID and contenu are equal None. Does someone have an idea of how to do it ? Thanks a lot.

You're reading the POST parameters where you want the raw body parsed as JSON:

data = json.loads(request.body)
id = data['ID']

Let the requests library do the JSON encoding for you:

payload = {"contenu" : Contenu, "ID" : hashage}
r = requests.post('http://'+hostnamefacto+':'+portFacto+'/outil/test/', json=paylod)

I try what you told me, but I get an error. I solved it by replace json.load by json.loads and it works. Thank you.
