the above screenshot is CV sample POST request to disable schedule job and I want to be able run this specific POST Request via Python so I can do more personalization on it/more control on it (e.g. run multiple taskid at one shot, output pre/post result, etc...):
1- Issue Description:
I'm using this script to make a POST request to the Commvault disable schedule API. in this case, I want to pass the plain text (taskId = 125918) as a variable so I can use it in the script, and can't make the POST request with this plain text that highlighted in the above sample screenshot(taskId= 451).
taskId = 0
task = {(taskId, 'text/plain') : 125918}
r2 = requests.post(DisableSchedule, data = task, headers=headers)
2- what have been tried:
#1 " tried below script and gave an error : file "string", line unknown paraseError: no element found: line 1, coilmun 0
taskId = 0
task = {taskId : 125918}
r2 = requests.post(DisableSchedule, data = task, headers=headers)
3- How to make CV API request using the plain text as a variable in Python ?
variable before the script, and I want to use this plain text variable in the POST request
