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

params is for GET-style URL parameters  data is for POST-style body information  It is perfectly legal to provide both types of information in a request  and your request does so too  but you encoded the URL parameters into the URL already  Your raw post contains JSON data though  requests can handle JSON encoding for you  and it ll set the correct Content-Type header too  all you need to do is pass in the Python object to be encoded as JSON into the json keyword argument  You could split out the URL parameters as well  params     sessionKey    9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103    format    xml    platformId   1   then post your data with  import requests  url    http   192 168 3 45 8080 api v2 event log   data     quot eventType quot    quot AAS PORTAL START quot    quot data quot     quot uid quot    quot hfe3hf45huf33545 quot    quot aid quot    quot 1 quot    quot vid quot    quot 1 quot    params     sessionKey    9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103    format    xml    platformId   1   requests post url  params params  json data   The json keyword is new in requests version 2 4 2  if you still have to use an older version  encode the JSON manually using the json module and post the encoded result as the data key  you will have to explicitly set the Content-Type header in that case  import requests import json  headers     content-type    application json   url    http   192 168 3 45 8080 api v2 event log   data     quot eventType quot    quot AAS PORTAL START quot    quot data quot     quot uid quot    quot hfe3hf45huf33545 quot    quot aid quot    quot 1 quot    quot vid quot    quot 1 quot    params     sessionKey    9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103    format    xml    platformId   1   requests post url  params params  data json dumps data   headers headers
