Chilkat2 Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat2 or download... Python Module for Windows, Linux, Alpine Linux, MacOS, Solaris

import chilkat2

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

req = chilkat2.HttpRequest()
http = chilkat2.Http()

# If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
# by calling SetRequestHeader

# Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
# The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

# Here are some examples of custom headers.  

# Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value")

# Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
http.SetRequestHeader("X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value")

# We don't need to set the Content-Type header, becaue it is automatically set by Chilkat
# in the PostJson2 call below.

# The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json")

jsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }"

# To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PostJson2("http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint","application/json",jsonText)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
else:
    # Display the JSON response.
    print(resp.BodyStr)
