How do i post python varaibles using curl?

Question

for instance i have the following

title = "some title"
name = "name"
headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        }
data = '{"title": title,"name":name,"action":"save"}'
response = requests.post('http://192.168.1.7:8080/news/save.json', headers=headers, data=data)

i want to post the title and the name to a database with those fields, and they both will keep on changing . I execute this statement and it works without any errors, but when i see my database, these fields arent there yet. If i hardcode the title and the name then it works fine.

Try printing your 'data' variable. You'll see you are not adding 'title' and 'name' to the 'data'. — therochvoices

Not sure what does this have to do with curl

You are sending an hardcoded string that has nothing to do with the defined variables. You should create a json and send that:

import json

title = "some title"
name = "name"
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    }
data = json.dumps({"title": title, "name": name, "action":"save"})
response = requests.post('http://192.168.1.7:8080/news/save.json', 
                         headers=headers, data=data)
