How to fix <Response [400]> while make a POST in Python?
<p>I kept getting <code>&lt;Response [400]&gt;</code> in my terminal while running the script.</p>

<p>I have tried </p>

<pre><code>import requests
import json

url = 'http://172.19.242.32:1234/vse/account'

data = '{ 
  "account_id": 1008,
  "email_address": "bhills_4984@mailinator.com",
  "password": "qqq",
  "account_type": "customer",
  "name_prefix": "",
  "first_name": "Beverly",
  "middle_names": "",
  "last_name": "Hills",
  "name_suffix": "",
  "non_person_name": false,
  "DBA": "",
  "display_name": "BeverlyHills",
  "address1": "4984 Beverly Dr",
  "address2": "4984 Beverly Dr",
  "address3": "",
  "city": "Beverly Hills",
  "state": "CA",
  "postal_code": "90210",
  "nation_code": "90210",
  "phone1": "3105554984",
  "phone2": "",
  "phone3": "",
  "time_zone_offset_from_utc": -5,
  "customer_type": "2",
  "longitude": -118.4104684,
  "latitude": 34.1030032,
  "altitude": 0
}'

headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}

r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)

print r
</code></pre>

<hr>

<p>What did I do wrong ?</p>

<p>Change </p>

<pre><code>r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
</code></pre>

<p>to</p>

<pre><code>r = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
</code></pre>

<p>because data is not a dict that must be transformed to json but is already json.</p>

python request http-status-code-400
