JSON parsing error in django post request

I'm trying to send data through POST request in django
url = 'http://db-003:8013/v1/upgrade-ce'
payload = {
"cluster_name": cluster_name,
"cec_id": cec_id,
"new_version": new_version,
"cr_number": cr_number,
}
response = requests.post(url, data=payload)
On receiver end post method:
cluster name = request.data.get('cluster_name')
Data on receiver's end
<QueryDict: {'cluster_name': ['abcd'], 'cec_id': ['abc'], 'new_version': ['8.0.23'], 'cr_number': ['6587657']}>
The obtained data is a list, and not an individual string string.
Tried json.dumps() , but on the receiver end, data is empty.
How do i get an individual string

Sending Content-Type as application/json in headers and json.dumps(payload) should work.
url = 'http://db-003:8013/v1/upgrade-ce'
payload = {
"cluster_name": cluster_name,
"cec_id": cec_id,
"new_version": new_version,
"cr_number": cr_number,
}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

Looping through an array of API values for API GET request in Python

I have an array of ice cream flavors I want to iterate over for an API GET request. How do I loop through an array such as [vanilla, chocolate, strawberry] using the standard API request below?
import requests
url = "https://fakeurl.com/values/icecreamflavor/chocolate?"
payload = {}
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer (STRING)',
'(STRING)': '(STRING)'
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data = payload)
my_list = (response.text.encode('utf8'))

You could probably try string formatting on your url. You could loop through your array of ice-cream flavors, change the url in each loop and perform API GET request on the changed url.
import requests
iceCreamFlavors = ["vanilla", "chocolate", "strawberry"]
url = "https://fakeurl.com/values/icecreamflavor/{flavor}?"
payload = {}
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer (STRING)',
'(STRING)': '(STRING)'
}
my_list = []
for flavor in iceCreamFlavors:
response = requests.request("GET", url.format(flavor=flavor), headers=headers, data = payload)
my_list.append(response.text.encode('utf8'))

How to embed a string within a string in python2.7, that has escaped quotes in it?

I am trying with replace two literals with variable for for a payload for an sms:
import requests
url = "https://api.aql.com/v2/sms/send"
token='07ae4cca3f90a49347ccb5cfghypdngthwss85d9ce71862663e4b8162b366ba6c2db8f5f'
msg = "Ambient temperature has dropped to 10 Deg.C"
phone = "441234567890"
payload = "{\"destinations\" : [\"447753448024\"], \"message\": \"Hello, I am a message\"}"
headers = {
'x-auth-token': token,
'content-type': "application/json"
}
response = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
I wish to insert the variables phone and msg in place or the literals
Any help will be gratefully received

You may use json attribute from .post() it'll handle the content-type header and the conversion from dict to str
url = "https://api.aql.com/v2/sms/send"
token='07ae4cca3f90a49347ccb5cfghypdngthwss85d9ce71862663e4b8162b366ba6c2db8f5f'
msg = "Ambient temperature has dropped to 10 Deg.C"
phone = "441234567890"
payload = {'destinations':[phone], 'message':msg}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers={'x-auth-token': token})

How to convert http request to Python?

I need your help.
I am looking to communicate with a REST API containing sensor data at port number 3.
I have a Json (POST) request that works perfectly executed on a REST client like Insomnia.
My request :
{ "header": { "portNumber": 3 }, "data": { "index": 40 } }
Picture of my request
However I am unable to make it work on Python and to recover data from my sensor.
My Python code :
import requests
import json
url = 'http://192.168.1.100/iolink/sickv1' # Address of the OctoPrint Server
header = {'portNumber': '3', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'} #Basic request's header
data = {'index': 40}
def get_sensor_measure():
r = requests.post(url + '/readPort', headers=header, data=data)
print(r.content)
print(r.status_code)
I get the error:
b'{"header":{"status":1,"message":"Parsing Failed"}}'
Thank you in advance

You should pass 'portNumber': '3' in data not in header:
header = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
data = {'header': {'portNumber': '3'}, 'data': {'index': 40}}
And also as Karl stated in his answer you need to changes data to json:
r = requests.post(url + '/readPort', headers=header, json=data)

My guess would be that you are using the wrong field to pass your payload. It isn't really obvious, but the requests package expects JSON-type payload to be sent with the json field, not the data field, i.e.:
r = requests.post(url + '/readPort', headers=header, json=data)

With a few changes (Bold), it works. Thanks
url = 'http://192.168.1.100/iolink/sickv1' # Address of the OctoPrint Server
header = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} #Basic request's header
**data = {'header': {'portNumber': 3}, 'data': {'index': 40}}**
def get_sensor_measure():
r = requests.post(url + '/readPort', headers=header, json=data)
print(r.content)
print(r.status_code)

Google calendar- get modified events with nextSyncToken via API rest

Can anyone please tell me how to write a cURL to get events (only modified) list with nextSyncToken?
This is my code that's not working:
def get_headers():
headers = {
#'Content-Type': "application/json",
'Authorization': access_token_json
}
return headers
def get_nexttokensync_list_event():
url_get_list_event = "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/id#gmail.com/events"
querystring = {"nextSyncToken": "CMCEh************jd4CGAU="}
response = requests.request("GET", url_get_list_event, headers=headers, params=querystring)
json_event_list_formatted = response.text
print(json_event_list_formatted)

Yes, i've done it!
Here is my code:
import requests
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/here_calendar_id/events"
querystring = {"syncToken":"here_token"}
headers = {
'Content-Type': "application/json",
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
print(response.text)
