Pass variable in Json payload?

Question

I have the following code:

import requests
import time

orderID = time.strftime("%#d%m%y") + str(randint(10, 99))
payload = '{ "id": 62345, "shippingCharge": 0.0, "giftCharge": 0.0, "amountDue": 13000.0}'
url = "test.com/v1/%s".format(orderID)
s = requests.Session()
s.headers.update({'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
r = s.post(url , payload, auth=('test01', 'test01'))

I want to pass the variable orderID in the following:

1. as the value for id field in the JSON payload.
2. After v1 in the URL string

Please help me out.

Answer 1

I think this will work:

import requests
from random import randint
import time

orderID = time.strftime("%#d%m%y") + str(randint(10, 99))
payload = ('{ "id": ' + str(orderID) + ', "shippingCharge": 0.0, "giftCharge": 0.0, '
           '"amountDue": 13000.0}')
url = "test.com/v1/{}".format(orderID)
s = requests.Session()
s.headers.update({'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
r = s.post(url , payload, auth=('test01', 'test01'))

Answer 2

1) as the value for id field in the JSON payload.

 orderID = time.strftime("%#d%m%y") + str(randint(10, 99)) 
 payload = '{ "id": '+ str(orderID) +', "shippingCharge": 0.0, "giftCharge": 0.0, 
"amountDue": 13000.0}' 

2) After v1 in the URL string

The code you have given is correct for your use case.
