  },
"testnet": 'true',
"usIn": 1599208606258957,
"usOut": 1599208606259032,

You've received an empty response since JSON is unable to serialize it, probably HTTP status 400. You can check response code using response.status_code, that might help you find the cause of the error.

From your question, I can only assume you need to call POST (or maybe PUT) instead of GET, since you are sending payload, which is not standard for GET requests:

r=requests.post('https://test.deribit.com', data=payload)

Request body (your payload) is standard for POST (create an object using data from body), PUT/PATCH (Update object using data from request body). Post is sometimes also used to retrieve data, if there are too many parameters to fit in url.
