Converting url encode data from curl to json object in python using requests

Question

What is the best way to convert the below curl post into python request using the requests module:

curl -X POST https://api.google.com/gmail --data-urlencode json='{"user": [{"message":"abc123", "subject":"helloworld"}]}'

I tried using python requests as below, but it didn't work:

payload = {"user": [{"message":"abc123", "subject":"helloworld"}]}
url = https://api.google.com/gmail
requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload),auth=(user, password))

Can anybody help.

What do you mean by "it didn't work"? And you should set the url variable to be a string, not just some url. Surround it with " — Ella Sharakanski

As the comment mentioned, you should put your url variable string in quotes "" first.

Otherwise, your question is not clear. What errors are being thrown and/or behavior is happening?
