[python] Python Request Post with param data

This is the raw request for an API call:

POST http://192.168.3.45:8080/api/v2/event/log?sessionKey=b299d17b896417a7b18f46544d40adb734240cc2&format=json HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 86
Host: 192.168.3.45:8080
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

{"eventType":"AAS_PORTAL_START","data":{"uid":"hfe3hf45huf33545","aid":"1","vid":"1"}}"""

This request returns a success (2xx) response.

Now I am trying to post this request using requests:

>>> import requests
>>> headers = {'content-type' : 'application/json'}
>>> data ={"eventType":"AAS_PORTAL_START","data{"uid":"hfe3hf45huf33545","aid":"1","vid":"1"}}
>>> url = "http://192.168.3.45:8080/api/v2/event/log?sessionKey=9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103&format=xml&platformId=1"
>>> requests.post(url,params=data,headers=headers)
<Response [400]>

Everything looks fine to me and I am not quite sure what I posting wrong to get a 400 response.

Set data to this:

data ={"eventType":"AAS_PORTAL_START","data":{"uid":"hfe3hf45huf33545","aid":"1","vid":"1"}}

Assign the response to a value and test the attributes of it. These should tell you something useful.

response = requests.post(url,params=data,headers=headers)
response.status_code
response.text

• status_code should just reconfirm the code you were given before, of course
