I have 2 strings which are stored in variables

headers = str('{"Authorization":"'+auth+'"}')
otp = str('{"otp":"'+otp+'"}')

Using ast library I convert them to dictionary.

data = ast.literal_eval(otp)
head = ast.literal_eval(headers)

Output : 

{'otp': '0910'}
{'Authorization': 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIU'}

But when I pass them to:

response = requests.post(url, params=data, headers = head)

I get this message

{'status': 'failure', 'message': 'invalid json'}

I understand this is a problem of single and double quotes but I am bit confused how to change single quotes to double quotes.

I tried using json.dumps() but this returns string which is not acceptable.

Please help.

    It seems that the error comes from the server not from requests, can you verify what format the server is accepting? – johnII Dec 29 '17 at 05:42

Use json instead of params

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=head)
