python 与 curl -d 命令的等效请求是什么？

Question

I am having difficulty finding the python request equivalent to the curl command which send the data in the body as JSON.

The curl command looks like

curl -X POST -d '{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}' http://localhost:8080/myapi

With the CURL request, Server(python) gets the data in requset.form like below

ImmutableMultiDict([('{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}', '')])

But when sending the same post request like using request module of python

response = requests.post("http://localhost:8080/myapi", data=json.dumps({
    "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"))

From the server-side, I see the content like

ImmutableMultiDict([('key1', 'value1'), ('key2', 'value2')]) and its type is : <class 'werkzeug.datastructures.ImmutableMultiDict

I am a bit confused about why the request using requests.post having different content at server side compared to using curl request, can someone please help to understand and possible solutions

---

The issue has solved by adding 'Content-Type:application/json' in both curl and the request made from the request module. Also, I used to check the data in request.form but realized that it is working when I use the request.data, new to python so have missed this, thank you.

Have you tried just sending the dictionary instead of stringified json?

r = requests.post('https://httpbin.org/post', data = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"})

running this through the httpbin test server and running your curl statement yield identical responses (with the exception of the user agent.
