Post data (dictionary list) with python requests

Question

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. — Greg7000

status code is different from 200, is in these condition used data=my_data instead of json=my_data — Pathia Nanto

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.

@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={ {...},{...} } ?
