Send POST Requests in Python

simple python code to send http POST requests to an API endpoint.

How it works:

Upon calling python3 main.py:

1. constructs a dictionary for the data payload.
2. converts dictionary into a JSON object[1].
3. sends the payload to the specified API via POST request, using the python requests package[2].
4. prints out the result of the POST request.
