In this blog, I am going to show how to post JSON information in Python console.

Software requirement

Python 3.5 and IDLE (Python 3.5)

Programming code

#Posting json in Python
#import packages
import requests
import simplejson as json
#variable
url="https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url"
#Payload
payload={"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"}
#Headers
headers={"Content-Type: application/json"}
#Request
r= requests.post(url, json=payload)
#Output statement
print(r.text)
