I have a problem trying to insert data as well using python…mind you i am a little bit of a novice. I can connect to the application fine:

STRAPI_API_KEY = os.environ["STRAPI_API_KEY"]
STRAPI_URL_ENDPOINT = f"http://192.168.0.35:1337/api/flight-datas"
STRAPI_HEADERS = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {STRAPI_API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

Then with request:

    def sheet_data_insert(self):
        """Insert data back into spreadsheet"""
        schema = {
            "data": {
                "city": "Paris",
                "iatacode": "",
                "lowestprice": "42"
            }
        }
        r = requests.post(url=STRAPI_URL_ENDPOINT, headers=self.auth_header, params=schema)
        print(r.text)

I recieve this error:

{"data":null,"error":{"status":400,"name":"ValidationError","message":"Missing \"data\" payload in the request body","details":{}}}

Anyone point me in the right direction? I clearly have a “data” payload but is params not the request body?

This is the example value from the documentation so I am a little confused:

{
  "data": {
    "city": "string",
    "iatacode": "string",
    "lowestprice": "string"
  }
}
