        try:
            re = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
            re.raise_for_status()

        except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as e:
            print (e.response.text)

Instead of catching all exception with except Exception as e, which by the way raises a Too broad exception clause in PyCharm, just catch requests exceptions with requests.exceptions.RequestException that is then main exception (see exceptions.py in requests package):

try:
   re = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
   re.raise_for_status()
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
   print(e)

you can catch the connection error with requests.exceptions.ConnectionError

But i don't recommend using too many excepts unless you specifically want to. Here my recommend to catch the exceptions if you using try catch:

try:
   re = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
   re.raise_for_status()

except Exception as e:
   print(e)
