How to make a POST call to a Java Spring REST server by Python and pass a 'map' object?

Question

Here is the REST server code:

@RequestMapping(value = "/create", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public MyObject create(@RequestBody Map<String, Object> myMap){
    String nameStr = (String) myMap.get("nameStr");
    String labelStr = (String) myMap.get("labelStr");
    return new MyObject(nameStr, labelStr);
}

How do I call this server by Python?

If you control the server code, you can improve it with a proper DTO; what you have now is not very good. It's expecting JSON like `{"nameStr": "...", "labelStr": "..."}`. Also it doesn't seem to really *do* anything... — jonrsharpe, May 29 '18 at 07:05

Using requests:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.post('http://yourserver.com/create',
...                   data = {'nameStr': 'Your Name', 'labelStr': 'Your Label'})
