Generate API request with Python

This uses json:<>

import requests
 
# The API endpoint
url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
 
# Data to be sent
data = {
    "userID": 1,
    "title": "Making a POST request",
    "body": "This is the data we created."
}
 
# A POST request to the API
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
 
# Print the response
print(response.json())

This is data and not json:

import requests
 
# Define the URL and the data to be sent in the POST request
url = 'http://example.com/test/demo_form.php'
data = {'name1': 'value1', 'name2': 'value2'}
 
# Make the POST request
response = requests.post(url, data=data)
 
# Print the status code and the response content
print(f"Status Code: {response.status_code}")
print(f"Response Content: {response.text}")
