I am trying to create a new table on Airtable with the aid of the post method. I have the following code :

# importing the requests library 
import requests 

# defining the api-endpoint 
API_ENDPOINT = "https://api.airtable.com/v0/appa3r2UUo4JxpjSv/Table%201?api_key=MYKEY"


# data to be sent to api 
data =  {
   'fields': {
        'Name': 'Andromachis Row'
    } 

} 

# sending post request and saving response as response object 
r = requests.post(url = API_ENDPOINT, data = data)

# extracting response text 
print(r.text)

Despite that when I run the script I get an error saying:

(mypyth) PS C:\Users\andri\PythonProjects\mypyth> py post_API.py
{"error":{"type":"INVALID_REQUEST_UNKNOWN","message":"Invalid request: parameter validation failed. Check your request data."}}

Does anyone understand why this happens? I am really desperate! Thanks in advance

Use `json=data` instead of `data=data`: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9733638/post-json-using-python-requests – TheF1rstPancake Mar 22 '19 at 17:02
Any update on this? I am experiencing the same. – bart Aug 15 '19 at 23:07
