Redirect_url ignored while Uploading to Vimeo API via Python Requests

Question

I'm trying to upload a video to my Vimeo account from within a web-app, and the upload part is working, but I can't find a way to include the redirect_url option. In Postman it works, but in python it's just ignored. Here's the snippet:

    def get(self, request):
       url = "https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos"

       payload = '{ "upload": { "approach": "post", "redirect_url": "www.example.com" }}'
       headers = {
         'Authorization': 'Bearer <access_token>',
         'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
         'redirect_url': 'www.example.com'
       }

       response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
       print(response.text.encode('utf8'))
       return Response(data=upload_data)

After uploading the video (which is successful) it just redirects to the default vimeo page. Tried countless variations, can't figure it out, has anyone done this?

have you tried urlencoding the redirect_url value? – Tommy Penner Apr 06 '20 at 14:57 — Tommy Penner, Apr 06 '20 at 14:57

'Content-Type': 'text/plain'

this should have been:

'Content-Type': 'application/json'
