"(#100) param data must be an array" Facebook Offline Conversions API error

I am getting this error on hitting the /events endpoint (POST REQUEST) to upload event. The URL I am hitting is https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/<EVENT_ID>/events with payload something like this:

{'upload_tag': <TIMESTAMP>, 'data': [{'currency': 'USD', 'event_time': <TIMESTAMP>, 'value': 0.0, 'match_key': {'email': '<EMAIL_HASH>'}, 'custom_data': {'event_source': 'event'}}], 'access_token': '<ACCESS_TOKEN>'}

But am getting the error that params must be an array which it already is. Any help would be appreciated.

The data parameter accepts only JSON string, convert the data to json.dumps(object) and do an HTTP post.

your payload should really be like this

$data = array(
        'access_token' => $access_token,
        'upload_tag' => date(DB_DATE),
        'data' => array(
            json_encode(
                array(
                    'match_keys' => array(
                        'email' => hash('sha256', strtolower(trim($email)))
                    ),
                    'event_name' => 'Survey Complete',
                    'event_time' => strtotime($time),
                    'currency' => 'USD',
                    'contents' => array(json_encode(array('id' => $id, 'quantity' => $quantity))),
                    'value' => $points / 100,
                    'item_number' => $complete_id
                )
            )
        )
    );
