requests.post not sending post values

[JarredAwesome]

Hello everyone,

As the title says, none of the post values are being sent

Here is the Python script:

 params = { 'code' : code, 'client_id': client_id, 'client_secret': client_secret, 'redirect_uri': redirect_uri, 'grant_type': 'authorization_code', } headers = { 'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } response = requests.post(testurl+"?test=1", headers=headers, json = params) print(response.text) print(dir(response))

Here is the php code of the site receiving it

<?php $r = var_export($_POST, true); print_r(json_encode($r)); ?>

all I get back is "Array()"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Not that I really know about this stuff, but the example below works.

If you are not afraid of problems, post your url for testing.

I don't know what the php looks like on the test site used below, but it gives a decent response.

import json import requests url = 'https://httpbin.org/post' payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'} headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.json())

This returns:

Output:
{'args': {}, 'data': '{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}', 'files': {}, 'form': {}, 'headers': {'Accept': '*/*', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Content-Length': '36', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Host': 'httpbin.org', 'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.31.0', 'X-Amzn-Trace-Id': 'Root=1-694b2fc2-511bcc222a3b3c6e0019f60b'}, 'json': {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}, 'origin': '114.221.165.190', 'url': 'https://httpbin.org/post'}

Hi,

you are setting the wrong content-type for JSON... If you want to send JSON, you need to set the content-type correctly. Or provide the payload in the right way for request.

See request documentation and MDN documentation on content-types for POST requests.
