Python Requests - Post indexed array

I'd like to send request using python and requests library. I have checked this request in web browser inspector and form data looks like that:

data[foo]: bar
data[numbers][]: 1
data[numbers][]: 2
data[numbers][]: 3
data[numbers][]: 4
data[numbers][]: 5
csrf_hash: 12345

This is my code:

payload = {'data[foo]': 'bar', 'csrf_hash': 12345,
         'data[numbers]': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}
r = s.post('https://www.foo.com/bar/', payload)

It doesn't work. I'm getting error because of invalid post data

Solution

  • I have made a modification to make it more dynamic:

    Here is the code:

        payload = ['data[foo]': 'bar', 'csrf_hash': 12345]
    numbers = [1,2,3,4,5]
    idx = 0
    for item in numbers:
        payload = payload  + [('data[numbers]' + '[' + str(idx) + ']', 
        str(numbers ))]
        idx = idx + 1
    r = s.post(*your_url_here*, payload)
