Json by python URL?

Question

good afternoon! I have a python script that I need to pass a Json via URL to an application, which validates through the mac address. With several researches, I have been testing the code below, even to have an understanding of what is happening. The reason you’re starting in Python. When running the script does not give any error, or accuses at least the attempt to pass something invalid in the log.

import json

url = 'http://aplicacao.com.br/recebe'
files = {'file': ('file.json', open('file.json', 'rb'))}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}

my file.json is this way:

[{"nome": "nome", "end": "end", "email": " email", "tel": "tel"},
 {"nome": "nome", "end": "end", "email": " email", "tel": "tel"}]

Thank you

This is not how you open a json file.

First you must open the file, and then use json.load to load its contents. See:

import json

with open('file.json', 'r') as fd:
    meu_dicionario = fd.load(fd)

That said, it seems to me that you don’t want to upload json to a dictionary or Python list, but send the contents of your file file.json. For this, you will send it as you would send any file: first reading its content, and then sending this content:

with open('file.json', 'rb') as fd:
    conteudo_file = fd.read()

url = 'http://aplicacao.com.br/recebe'
files = {'file': ('file.json', conteudo_file)}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
