Translation complicated curl command to python3

I am making a program and I have to translate a Curl command to python, I know how to do requests but not a complicated Curl command like this one so I have no idea how to do it. Can someone help me?

Curl command: 

curl -H "public-api-token: 59d46c97de11677e7b23750da01ff6a5" -X PUT -d "urlToShorten=google.com" https://api.shorte.st/v1/data/url

It would be much appreciated if someone wants to translate it for me and wants to explain to me how to do it.

import requests
my_url = "https://api.shorte.st/v1/data/url"
my_data = {"urlToShorten": "google.com"}
my_headers = {"public-api-token":"59d46c97de11677e7b23750da01ff6a5"}
response = requests.put(my_url, my_data, headers=my_headers)
print(reponse.json())

you can use requests module in python:

import requests

r = requests.put('https://api.shorte.st/v1/data/url', data = {'urlToShorten':'google.com'}, headers={'public-api-token' : '59d46c97de11677e7b23750da01ff6a5'})

status_code=r.status_code # get status code
res=r.json() # get response as json

Explaining the code: 1) url is https://api.shorte.st/v1/data/url 2) you need to pass a Public API token in the headers so you will provide the headers arg as a dict (see above). 3) finally, the payload is specified in the data arg as shown in the above example.

requests module is quite useful, you may check out the docs here: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/quickstart/
