API Call is working in POSTMAN but API call with generated code is not working

Question

API call is working in postman but when i am using generated code, it is not working

Generated code:

import requests

url = "http://services.XXX.com/rest/v2/verification"

payload = "{\r\n  \"startDate\": \"2000-12-25\",\r\n  \"endDate\": \"2000-12-31\",\r\n  \"format\": \"CSV\"\r\n}"
headers = {
    'authorization': "Bearer XXXXX",
    'content-type': "application/json",
    'cache-control': "no-cache",
    'postman-token': "XXX"
    }

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

I have tried to execute after removing postman-token also but still getting below error:

{"message":"Internal Server Error: correlationId=V2-ee8fb1b098490b8665dd936e8472978b","type":"error","code":1}

Answer 1

When using passing json data in requests , you can pass a dictionary instead of string.

You can try this:

import requests
import json

url = "http://services.XXX.com/rest/v2/verification"

payload = "{\r\n  \"startDate\": \"2000-12-25\",\r\n  \"endDate\": \"2000-12-31\",\r\n  \"format\": \"CSV\"\r\n}"
headers = {
    'authorization': "Bearer XXXXX",
    'content-type': "application/json",
    'cache-control': "no-cache",
    'postman-token': "XXX"
    }

response = requests.post(url,json=json.loads(payload),headers=headers)

print(response.text)

You can change the payload variable, to a Json oblect this way:

Instead of:

payload = "{\r\n  \"startDate\": \"2000-12-25\",\r\n  \"endDate\": \"2000-12-31\",\r\n  \"format\": \"CSV\"\r\n}"

You can use:

payload = {"startDate": "2000-12-25", "endDate": "2000-12-31",  "format":"CSV"}
