from datetime import datetime
my_date = datetime.now()
output
{
"start_date": '2020-05-06T09:27:51.386383'
}

You don't mention initial/input string. We can only speculate about itAndy K– Andy K2018-05-06 07:36:37 +00:00Commented May 6, 2018 at 7:36

Dates aren't put into "JSON format". It's just a string. Also, you're being downvoted here because date formatting and parsing is 1) answered before 2) documented enough in the python docs 3) you've not specified an exact format, so are we supposed to guess ISO8601?OneCricketeer– OneCricketeer2018-05-06 07:36:50 +00:00Commented May 6, 2018 at 7:36

You can't use a datetime object directly in the JSON, you'll need to convert it to a string format first before you can use it.
Use strftime to convert datetime object to string.
In [1]: from datetime import datetime
In [2]: {'start_date': datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f')}
Out[2]: {'start_date': '2021-01-27T11:10:00.489530'}
