How to pass a string to a post call, using python requests

I'm implementing a jira api call : Add watcher to a JIRA issue.

It takes a String parameter instead of JSON.

I'm using python requests.

requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

What should be my value of data if the jira documentation says I need to pass just String but requests.post method only accepts JSON?

Simply do:

requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)

According to the official docs:

There are many times that you want to send data that is not form-encoded. If you pass in a string instead of a dict, that data will be posted directly.
