Python request 400 error

import requests

r = requests.post('https://gql.twitch.tv/gql', data=payload)


print(r.text)

The problem I'm encountering is that when I try to run this script to get information from Twitch (viewer count and so on) but the response I get is {"error":"Bad Request","status":400,"message":"invalid request body format"}. I can't figure out why.

(Got the payload from the "Network" tab in Chromes dev tool when I refresh the twitch page)

Use json instead of data:

requests.post('https://gql.twitch.tv/gql', json=payload)
