Passing JSON data from response to request in Django - django

Question

I have a Django (1.8.3) view that:
Makes a GET request to Server A (jetty), which returns JSON data in the body of the response. Then,
Makes a POST to Server B (node.js), passing the JSON data recieved from Server A in the body of the request.
The JSON data is structured like:
{
name: "foo",
details: {
"date": "today",
"isCool": "no",
},
stuff: [
{
"id": "1234",
"rating": "5",
}, {
"id": "5678",
"rating": "1",
},
]
}
But I can't figure out how to get the JSON from Server A's response into the request to Server B in my Django view. If I do this:
jetty_response = requests.request(method='GET', url=jetty_url)
node_response = requests.request(method="POST", url=node_url,
data=jetty_response.json())
I get the JSON object in Server B, but it looks like this:
{
name: "foo",
details: [ "date", "isCool"],
stuff: [ "id", "rating", "id", "rating"]
i.e. the name property is correct, but the details dict is instead received as the keyset of the original dict, and the stuff list is received as a flat array of the keysets in all objects in the original dict.
If I instead do this in django:
node_response = requests.request(method="POST", url=node_url,
data=json.dumps(jetty_response.json()))
I get an empty object in node, and same goes if I do simply:
data=jetty_response.content
How do I make this request??

Answer 1

Figured it out myself.
As is usually the case, the simplest answer:
node_response = requests.request(method="POST", url=node_url,
data=jetty_response.content)
worked fine once I took a closer look at my log and realized my POSTs were bouncing back 413, and then adjusted the size limit on my bodyParser in express.
