"missing_event" error on request to identify API

rishindoshi

Hey!

I’m attempting to submit a post request via python to the Identify API, but I keep getting back a 400 “missing_event” error.

 

My request looks like:

 

        IDENTIFY_ENDPOINT = 'https://api2.amplitude.com/identify'<br />        data = {<br />            'api_key': API_KEY,<br />            'identification': [{<br />                'user_id': 'user_id',<br />                'user_properties': { 'exp_group': 'control' }<br />            }]<br />        }<br />        res = post(IDENTIFY_ENDPOINT, headers={}, json=data)

 

I’ve seen other threads about a similar topic on this forum, but no helpful solutions from them.

 

Thanks in advance!

Update: was able to fix by plugging data into json.dumps and setting the proper content-type headers.
