Sending JSON with the requests package
Similar to how you can receive JSON text from an API response, you can also send JSON text to an API with POST or PUT requests. If you use the json argument for the request.post() and request.put() methods, the requests library will take care of adding all the necessary headers and encoding for you. Neat!
Let's try it out! Did you know you can create multiple playlists at once using a POST request to the /playlists API?
Just pass an array of playlists (each with a Name property) to the API and it will create them all at once.
