Not able to start processor group through Python requests (Rest api)

[#1]

I'm trying to execute python code to start processor group and getting below error

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: http://localhost:8080/nifi-api/process-groups/bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff

Code:

newUrl="http://localhost:8080/nifi-api/process-groups/bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff"
data1={'id':'bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff','state':'RUNNING'}

try:
    r = requests.put(newUrl, data=data1,headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json','Accept': 'application/json','Authorization': 'Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]'})
    #r = requests.get(newUrl, data=data1, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json',
                                                 # 'Accept-Charset': 'UTF-8'})

    r.raise_for_status()
except  requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(e)
    raise

When same thing I'm executing through curl command it working for me

curl -i -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff","state":"RUNNING"}' http://localhost:8080/nifi-api/flow/process-groups/bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff

I found the solution myself

import requests

headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

data = '{"id":"bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff","state":"RUNNING"}'

response = requests.put('http://localhost:8080/nifi-api/flow/process-groups/bee62419-016f-1000-f131-5c589af8faff', headers=headers, data=data)

You should be able to accept your own reply as solution marking it closed/solved.

One thing I do notice, which I HIGHLY recommend against is using "localhost"...
