Unable to creating disk with python code when disk type is specified

I am creating disk using python3. While try to create a disk, I am using the below config for body. I am able to create a disk if I am not using "type": "pd-standard" or "type": "pd-ssd":

config = {
    "name": "mytestdisk",
    "description": "this disk is created using python code",
    "sizeGb": '1',
    "type": "pd-standard",
    "zone": zone
}

But when using "type": "pd-standard" or "type": "pd-ssd" I am getting the below error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/myuser/PycharmProjects/pythonProject/cretedisk.py", line 31, in <module>
    print(create_disk(compute, project, zone))
  File "C:/Users/myuser/PycharmProjects/pythonProject/cretedisk.py", line 24, in create_disk
    return compute.disks().insert(
  File "C:\Users\myuser\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\_helpers.py", line 134, in positional_wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\myuser\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\http.py", line 907, in execute
    raise HttpError(resp, content, uri=self.uri)
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/superman/zones/us-central1-a/disks?alt=json returned "Invalid value for field 'resource.type': 'pd-standard'. The URL is malformed.">

The url should be

'type': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/superman/zones/us-central1-a/diskTypes/pd-standard',
'type': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/superman/zones/us-central1-a/diskTypes/pd-ssd'

I am not sure why it is trying the incorrect url:

https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/superman/zones/us-central1-a/disks

To me it looks like there is a bug in the library. Has anyone tried and faced such issue or have a solution to this error?

Thanks

From https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/disks, the type field says:

URL of the disk type resource describing which disk type to use to create the disk. Provide this when creating the disk. For example: projects/<project>/zones/<zone>/diskTypes/pd-standard

I think you want the full URL for type instead of just pd-standard, so:

https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/superman/zones/us-central1-a/diskTypes/pd-standard
