{"Error":"Invalid JSON syntax at offset 2"} - receiving this error while trying to get everflow report

I need to get a report from Everflow, a marketing platform.

The idea behind the code is pretty straightforward - I make a POST request:

url = "https://api.eflow.team/v1/affiliates/reporting/daily"
headers = {'x-eflow-api-key': '*MY*API*KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json',}
payload = '{ "from": "2020-09-01", "to": "2020-09-10", "timezone_id": 67, "currency_id": "USD"}'

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

What I get as a result is:

{"Error":"Invalid JSON syntax at offset 2"}

As far as I understand, the problem might relate to the payload format, but no success with it so far after two days of trying.

Thanks for any help!

Can you try the below code?

import requests
import json
url = "https://api.eflow.team/v1/affiliates/reporting/daily"
headers = {"x-eflow-api-key": "*MY*API*KEY", "Content-type": "application/json"}
payload = {'from': '2020-09-01', 'to': '2020-09-10', 'timezone_id': 67, 'currency_id': 'USD'}
payload = json.dumps(payload)
response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

But, from requests 2.4.2, the "json" parameter is supported. No need to specify "Content-Type" (in most cases).

requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', json={'test': 'foo'})
