send multiple dict in payload in a post requests fails

I am trying to make a post request for this api endpoint I am trying to update multiple product at once, my best try is :

payload = [{
    'Sku': '101',
    'Quantity': 122,
    'WarehouseId': 16
  },
  {
      'Sku': '102',
      'Quantity': 126,
      'WarehouseId': 15
   }
  ]

url = 'https://ecomdash.azure-api.net/api/inventory/updateQuantityOnHand'
try:
    res = requests.post(url, data = payload, headers=headers)
    print(res.status_code)
    print(res.content)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

It gives me this error: "too many values to unpack" I think I have done something wrong in the payload. headers param is ok as for same value it works when I test from the " api documentation Try It" section. Even when I use this payload,

payload = {
    'Sku': '101',
    'Quantity': 122,
    'WarehouseId': 16
     }

The request returns a 200 but the update does not occur. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

The endpoint accepts data in body, not in data. The correct code is,

res = requests.post(url, json = payload, headers=headers)

Thanks @m01010011 for the hint. I got mixed up in the query parameter and request body. Really appreciate your help.
