Putting a variable into payload python requests

Question

#real one
data = {'recipients' : '['+i+']'}
#one from requests
data = {'recipients' : '["908325719514423328"]'}

Hi, so i am trying to put a variable into the data but every time i try it is giving me {'code': 50109, 'message': 'The request body contains invalid JSON.'} , so i wonder if someone know how to put it in here i already tried data = {'recipients': f'["{i}"]'} but didn't work i tried everything but nothing work, thanks you for helping: :)

The one i am currently trying is the #real one

Answer 1

Use the json= parameter (which takes a dictionary) instead of data= (which takes a string)

r = requests.post(url, json={"key": "value"})
