Python Post Request Format?

Question

I'm trying perform a POST request with a JSON payload in Python but nothing happens when I run my script:

I have my payload:

newTicket = {
    "subject": "Testing POST API request", 
    "person": 749, 
    "department": 1, 
    "X-DeskPRO-API-Key": "API KEY",
    "Authorization": "API KEY"
} 

and my POST request (URL and API keys removed):

postResponse = requests.post("url.com", json = newTicket,    
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json",
        "X-DeskPRO-API-Key": "API KEY",
        "Authorization": "API KEY"
    }
)

Nothing happens when I check my software, is my json payload formatted properly? What am I doing wrong here?

When I print the response with:

print(postResponse.status_code)

I get:

200

And when I check my software's API call log, nothing relating to my POST request is there.

When I check the request body with:

print(postResponse.request.body)

I get:

None

Answer 1

Status 200 means the request worked and returned no error. Check the response like this

print(postResponse.json())
