Python Requests Post JSON Double Quotes

When working with APIs, it is often necessary to send data in JSON format. In Python, the Requests library is commonly used for making HTTP requests, including sending JSON data via POST requests.

To send a JSON payload with double quotes using Python Requests, you can create a dictionary in Python and then use the json.dumps() method to convert it to a JSON formatted string. You can then specify the Content-Type header as application/json and send the data using the Requests post() method.

Example Code


import requests
import json

# create dictionary with data
data =  {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
}

# convert dictionary to JSON formatted string
json_data = json.dumps(data)

# set headers
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

# send POST request with JSON data
response = requests.post('https://example.com/api', data=json_data, headers=headers)

# print response
print(response.text)

In the above example, we first create a dictionary with some data. We then use the json.dumps() method to convert the dictionary to a JSON formatted string. We also set the Content-Type header to application/json to indicate that we are sending JSON data.

We then use the Requests post() method to send a POST request with the JSON data and headers. Finally, we print the response from the server.

Alternative Method

Another way to send JSON data with double quotes using Python Requests is by specifying the data parameter as a dictionary and using the json parameter instead of headers.

Example Code


import requests

# create dictionary with data
data =  {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
}

# send POST request with JSON data
response = requests.post('https://example.com/api', json=data)

# print response
print(response.text)

In the above example, we first create a dictionary with some data. We then use the Requests post() method to send a POST request with the JSON data using the json parameter. This method automatically sets the Content-Type header to application/json and converts the data to a JSON formatted string.

Both methods work for sending JSON data with double quotes using Python Requests. Choose the one that you prefer based on your specific use case.
