Converting list to python array

Question

I have a list as follows:

domain_names = [{'fqdn': '*.google.com', 'port': '443', 'protocol': 'tcp'}, {'fqdn': '*.github.com', 'port': '443', 'protocol': 'tcp'}, {'fqdn': '*.amazonaws.com', 'port': '443', 'protocol': 'tcp'}, {'fqdn': '*.aviatrix.com', 'port': '443', 'protocol': 'tcp'}]

I need to convert it to an array as the API needs an array for the data to be passed. I have tried Numpy.array(domain_names) which return numpy.ndarray which is also not allowed to pass. The API strictly allows array. I tried the following: arr = [] # This is an array for d in domain_names: arr.append(d) print(type(arr)) # this is a list

Can anyone suggest me a way to convert it to an array? Thanks in advance!

def set_new_filter_tag(url= None, CID=None, tag_name=None,domain_names=None):
    arr = []
    for d in domain_names:
        arr.append(d)
    print(arr)
    data = {
        "action":"set_fqdn_filter_tag_domain_names",
        "CID": CID,
        "tag_name": tag_name,
        "domain_names": arr
    }
    response = requests.post(url=url, data=data, verify=False)
    res_dict = response.json()
    if res_dict["return"]:
           print(res_dict)
    else:
            print(res_dict)
            print("ERROR: setting new tag is failed.")

The error is {'return': False, 'reason': 'domain_names should be an array.'}

You probably want to make into json. But... Really need to see some code here... — Stephen Rauch, May 29 '19 at 01:42
That API refers to *json arrays* which correspond to Python `list` objects. — juanpa.arrivillaga, May 29 '19 at 01:46
@HariMenon {'return': False, 'reason': 'domain_names should be an array.'} — Anoop, May 29 '19 at 01:48
@StephenRauch I have edited the question. Please take a look — Anoop, May 29 '19 at 01:50
You need to provide the data as `json=data` I believe, or manually serialize if you use the data parameter, `data=json.dumps(data)` otherwise it is form encoded, I believe — juanpa.arrivillaga, May 29 '19 at 01:52
@Anoop, I do not see the returned error in the question. If someone in comments wants more information. Put the information into the question. In general, it is expected that the question will have most or all of the information that is being asked for here, in the question, when you first post it. — Stephen Rauch, May 29 '19 at 01:52
