This isn't a minimal reproducible example so I don't see how we can help. — Random Davis

The issue is that you're setting payload = json.dumps - all the lines after it are not being passed to dumps(). Do this instead (putting the open parenthesis on the same line):

payload = json.dumps(
    {
        "fields":
        {
        "project":
            {
            "key": "PROJECT_A"
            },
        "summary": "summary",
        "description": "desc",
        "issuetype":
            {
            "name": "Incident",
            },
        "components":
    [{"name":"Active Directory" }],
        "assignee":
            {
            "name":"[email protected]"
            }
       }
    }
)

It Worked, Thank you. But I am still Concerned, because My same code was working few days back.

@Aashutosh if it was working before, something about it must have been different.

Aashutosh Kumar Over a year ago

Only Difference is, I was using this piece of code in a function, To debug something, when I am using this independently, It was giving error.

It seems that the variable auth that you are using is a function and not a tuple or list.

The docs for requests.request() say:

:param auth: (optional) Auth tuple to enable Basic/Digest/Custom HTTP Auth.

Try this:

requests.post(url,data=payload, headers=headers, auth=auth, verify=False)

Can you delate auth and verify?

Aashutosh Kumar Over a year ago

Problem is identified, Issue is the json.dumps Opening Bracket. Since I have SSL Certificate Error at Target Site, I have to use verify=False
