Post Requests in Python For JSON Objects
I have a dataframe (df) in pandas which I have converted to JSON formot as:
json_obj = df.to_json(orient=records).
The json object looks like (say):
json_obj = [
{"a": "xxx", "b":"pqr", "c": 1},
{"a": "uuy", "b":"abc", "c": 3},
{"a": "yty", "b":"nnq", "c": 7}
]
Now when I send the data using an API URL (urlex (say)) (valid) as
import requests
r1 = requests.post('urlex', json = [
{"a": "xxx", "b":"pqr", "c": 1},
{"a":"uuy", "b":"abc", "c": 3},
{"a": "yty", "b":"nnq", "c": 7}
]
print (r1.status_code)
print(r1.content)
I get the response code 200 with **b'{"success":true}'**
However, when I do the same with
r1 = requests.post('urlex', json = json_obj ]
print (r1.status_code)
print(r1.content)
I get the response code 200 with **b'{"success":false}'**
What am I missing and what is the problem?

I think your problem is that pd.DataFrame.to_json returns a string:
data = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2]})
type(data.to_json())
str
but the json keyword argument of requests.post expects a python object. If you want to submit a son string, use the data= argument instead:
# this submits a jsonified string
response = requests.post('http://localhost:8888', json=data.to_json())
print(response.request.body.decode('utf-8'))
"{"a":{"0":1,"1":2}}"
# this submits the actual json object
response = requests.post(
'http://localhost:8888',
data=data.to_json().encode('utf-8'),
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
)
print(response.request.body.decode('utf-8')
{"a":{"0":1,"1":2}}
I am not sure whether encoding is necessary.
