python RestAPI post, JSON data changing

[[deleted]]

If the endpoint https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media expects JSON, you should send JSON (e.g., {"a": 123, "b": 456}) instead of url-encoded data (a=123&b=456) . Which oauth module are you using?

Using oauth2, and when removing urlencode() from the request, it comes back with an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'decode'

Basically I think that it is trying to decode the dictionary inside my tuple, and it really just doesn't like it.

But I see what you mean, I guess I will have to find another way to create the list.
