How to Escape true/false boolean at python JSON string

i have following code

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'cwauth-token': token}

payload = {'namePostfix': 'test99682', 'costModel': 'NOT_TRACKED', 'clickRedirectType': 'REGULAR', 'trafficSource':{'id': '3a7ff9ec-19af-4996-94c1-7f33e036e7af'}, 'redirectTarget': 'DIRECT_URL', 'client':{'id': 'clentIDc', 'clientCode': 'xxx', 'mainDomain': 'domain.tld', 'defaultDomain': 'domain.tld'', 'dmrDomain': 'domain.tld'', 'customParam1Available': false, 'realtimeRoutingAPI': false, 'rootRedirect': false}, 'country':{'code': 'UK'}, 'directRedirectUrl': 'http://google.co.uk'}

r = requests.post('http://stackoverflow.com', json=payload, headers=headers)

When i hit start, it gives error 

NameError: name 'false' is not defined

How i can escape those false booleans at payload?

False is the correct name to use in Python. In Python, the boolean values, true and false are defined by capitalized True and False

Python doesn't use false, it uses False, hence you're getting a NameError because Python is looking for a variable called false which doesn't exist.

Replace false with False in your dictionary. You've also got a few too many quotes in places, so I've removed those:

payload = {'namePostfix': 'test99682', 'costModel': 'NOT_TRACKED', 'clickRedirectType': 'REGULAR', 'trafficSource':{'id': '3a7ff9ec-19af-4996-94c1-7f33e036e7af'}, 'redirectTarget': 'DIRECT_URL', 'client':{'id': 'clentIDc', 'clientCode': 'xxx', 'mainDomain': 'domain.tld', 'defaultDomain': 'domain.tld', 'dmrDomain': 'domain.tld', 'customParam1Available': False, 'realtimeRoutingAPI': False, 'rootRedirect': False}, 'country':{'code': 'UK'}, 'directRedirectUrl': 'http://google.co.uk'}

Likewise, the opposite boolean value is True (not true), and the "null" data type is None.
