Python : `variables` in a POST body should be provided as an object, not a recursively JSON-encoded string

I’m using the following method to insert a variable into a POST request body :

def get_variables(date): return '{{"date":"{0}","timezone":"Europe"}}'.format(date)

The query is the following :

query Exchange($date: String!, $timezone: String) { getIntervals(date: $date, timezone: $timezone) { date intervals { start end description type code } } }

I get this error message when executing get_variable

variables in a POST body should be provided as an object, not a recursively JSON-encoded string.

Any idea for how turn it into a JSON object in python please ?

    Update : Resolved.

    I've used json.loads() function to do the deserialization – the act of converting a string to an object. --> def get_variables(date): return json.loads('{{"date": "{0}", "timezone": "Europe"}}'.format(date))

    Thank you all.

    Don’t encode this data as a string, return a regular dictionary instead:

    def get_variables(date):
    return {"date": str(date), "timezone": "Europe"}
