Mapbox API PUT Datasets Feature return "Provide a single Feature to insert"

I am trying to add a feature to the Dataset via Mapbox API using Python. I'm following this instruction https://docs.mapbox.com/api/maps/#update-a-dataset but keep getting this error:
{'message': 'Provide a single Feature to insert'}
The code looks like this:
rs = []
dictionary = {
"id":1,
"type":"Feature",
"properties":{},
"geometry":{"coordinates":[-83.750246, 42.269375],"type":"Point"}}
url = "https://api.mapbox.com/datasets/v1/voratima/"+dataset+"/features/1?access_token="+access_token
rs.append(grequests.put(url, data=dictionary, hooks = {'response' : do_something}))
grequests.map(rs, exception_handler=exception_handler)
I've tried the following but none of them work:
using requests instead of grequests
wrapping the dictionary with json.dumps()
changing the put parameter from data=dictionary to json=dictionary
Making sure the id for both data and URL are set to 1.
Postman of the exact same request does not have the error. What am I missing?

Given a dataset with dataset ID dataset exists, your request body looks ok.
Please add the header
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
Also can you check if you meet these specs:
This should be one individual GeoJSON feature, not a GeoJSON
FeatureCollection. If the GeoJSON feature has a top-level id property,
it must match the feature_id you use in the URL endpoint.

It turns out I forgot the header. Thanks to Mortiz for pointing that out. After the update I got
<Response [400]> {'message': 'Unexpected token i'}
That's because I need to wrap the dictionary inside json.dumps(). Then the error became
<Response [422]> {'message': 'Request URI does not match feature id'}
That's because the id in the dictionary has to be a string i.e. "id":"1" not "id":1. Here's the code that works:
rs = []
dictionary = {
"id":"1",
"type":"Feature",
"properties":{},
"geometry":{"coordinates":[-83.750246, 42.269375],"type":"Point"}}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
url = "https://api.mapbox.com/datasets/v1/voratima/"+dataset+"/features/1?access_token="+access_token
rs.append(grequests.put(url, data=json.dumps(dictionary), headers=headers, hooks = {'response' : do_something}))
grequests.map(rs, exception_handler=exception_handler)

How to parse jsonp returned from api using python

I'm very new to coding, and I'm building my first web application using open REST api with python flask.
I think the api is returning jsonp which looks like this - callbackfunction{ json }; and I get from other posts that all I need to do is getting rid of this padding. However, I can't figure out at which point I should implement the stripping.
This is my code. 5th line is throwing an error "the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not HTTPResponse"
def lookup(title):
try:
url = "http://www.aladin.co.kr/ttb/api/ItemSearch.aspx?ttbkey=foo&Query=bar"
result = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(result)
data_json = data.split("{", 1)[1].strip("}")
return data_json
except requests.RequestException:
return None
I'm sure it's working well until 4th line. When I tried the code below, at least it returned result, though cryptic, like this.
b'{ "version" : "20070901", "title" :
"\xec\x95\x8c\xeb\x9d\xbc\xeb\x94\x98 \xea\xb2\x80 ...
"customerReviewRank":9 } ] };'
Judging by the keys, I'm pretty sure this is the information I requested. So what can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance!
def lookup(title):
try:
url = "http://www.aladin.co.kr/ttb/api/ItemSearch.aspx?ttbkey=foo&Query=bar"
result = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
res = result.readline()
return res

Problems with the Bitly API v4 and the Python (2.7) request module, i keep getting response code 422: UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY

I've been trying to get this to work for the past 4 hours with no luck, so here's the problem:
I have this class:
class Bitly:
def __init__(self, api_token):
self.apiToken = api_token
self.header = {'Content-Type':'application/json',
'Authorization' : 'Bearer {}'.format(self.apiToken)
}
def shorten(self, longURL):
payload = {"long_url": longURL}
url = "https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten"
return requests.post(url, headers=self.header, data=payload)
that, after being initialized with a valid token, is supposed to return the response JSON with the shortened link inside when calling the shorten method.
Instead i keep getting this response:
{"message":"UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY","resource":"bitlinks","description":"The JSON value provided is invalid."}
And i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong with the payload for it to give me this message.
I'm sure it's a stupid error but i'm pretty new to this, so have mercy.

Nevermind, i solved it, here's the solution for future reference:
instead of using
data=payload
use
json=payload
Yes, it was that simple.

Using API to create a new query on Redash

I managed to import queries into another account. I used the endpoint POST function given by Redash, it sort of just applies to just “modifying/replacing”: https://github.com/getredash/redash/blob/5aa620d1ec7af09c8a1b590fc2a2adf4b6b78faa/redash/handlers/queries.py#L178
So actually, if I want to import a new query what should I do? I want to create a new query that doesn’t exist on my account. I’m looking at https://github.com/getredash/redash/blob/5aa620d1ec7af09c8a1b590fc2a2adf4b6b78faa/redash/handlers/queries.py#L84
Following is the function which I made to create new queries if the query_id doesn’t exist.
url = path, api = user api, f = filename, query_id = query_id of file in local desktop
def new_query(url, api, f, query_id):
headers ={'Authorization': 'Key {}'.format(api), 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
path = "{}/api/queries".format(url)
query_content = get_query_content(f)
query_info = {'query':query_content}
print(json.dumps(query_info))
response = requests.post(path, headers = headers, data = json.dumps(query_info))
print(response.status_code)
I am getting response.status_code 500. Is there anything wrong with my code? How should I fix it?

For future reference :-) here's a python POST that creates a new query:
payload = {
"query":query, ## the select query
"name":"new query name",
"data_source_id":1, ## can be determined from the /api/data_sources end point
"schedule":None,
"options":{"parameters":[]}
}
res = requests.post(redash_url + '/api/queries',
headers = {'Authorization':'Key YOUR KEY'},
json=payload)
(solution found thanks to an offline discussion with #JohnDenver)

TL;DR:
...
query_info = {'query':query_content,'data_source_id':<find this number>}
...
Verbose:
I had a similar problem. Checked redash source code, it looks for data_source_id. I added the data_source_id to my data payload which worked.
You can find the appropriate data_source_id by looking at the response from a 'get query' call:
import json
def find_data_source_id(url,query_number,api)
path = "{}/api/queries/{}".format(url,query_number)
headers ={'Authorization': 'Key {}'.format(api), 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.get(path, headers = headers)
return json.loads(response.text)['data_source_id']

The Redash official API document is so lame, it doesn't give any examples for the documented "Common Endpoints". I was having no idea how I should use the API key.
Instead check this saviour https://github.com/damienzeng73/redash-api-client .

requests.post with Python

I'm connecting to a login protected API with a Python script here below.
import requests
url = 'https://api.json'
header = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
login = ('kjji#snm.com', 'xxxxx')
mnem = 'inputRequests':'{'inputRequests':'[{'function':'GDSP','identifier':'ibm','mnemonic':'IQ_TOTAL_REV'}]}}
r = requests.post(url, auth=login, data=mnem, headers=header)
print(r.json())
The connection is established but I am getting an error from the API because of the format of the data request.The original format is here below. I cannot find a way to enter this in the mnem here above:
inputRequests={inputRequests:
[
{function:"xxx",identifier:"xxx",mnemonic:"xxx"},
]
}
The error given is
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop>pie.py
File "C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\pie.py", line 6
mnem={'inputRequests':'{'inputRequests':'[{'function':'xxx','identifier':'xx','mnemonic':'xxx'}]}}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I am unsure on how to proceed from here. I cannot find anything in the requests documentation that points to how to insert several variables in the data field.

The requests module in Python receive protogenic Python dict as the JSON data in post request but not a string. Therefore, you may try to define mnem like this:
mnem = {
'inputRequests':[
{'function':'GDSP',
'identifier':'ibm',
'mnemonic':'IQ_TOTAL_REV'
}
]}

the data parameter should be a dictionary.
therefore to pass the three parameters try using:
mnem = {'function':'GDSP','identifier':'ibm','mnemonic':'IQ_TOTAL_REV'}
