How to Translate CURL to Python Requests

I am currently trying to integrate Stripe Connect and have come across the flowing CURl POST request:

curl https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token \
   -d client_secret=SECRET_CODE \
   -d code="{AUTHORIZATION_CODE}" \
   -d grant_type=authorization_code

However I am very new to CURL and have been doing some research and trying to use the requests package to do it. This is what my current code looks like:

data = '{"client_secret": "%s", "code": "%s", "grant_type": "authorization_code"}' % (SECRET_KEY, AUTHORIZATION_CODE) 
response = requests.post('https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token', json=data)

However this always returns a response code 400. I have no idea where I am going wrong and any guidance would be thoroughly appreciated.

The error is because you are passing your data as string, instead json param of requests.post call expects it to be dict. Your code should be:

import requests

data = {
     "client_secret": SECRET_KEY, 
     "code": AUTHORIZATION_CODE, 
     "grant_type": "authorization_code"
} 

response = requests.post('https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token', json=data)

Take a look at request library's More complicated POST requests document.
