Probably your url is wrong. Check that it's the same as the one I used. In the one you printed you were missing `/kbn`. Or if you have it, try without it.

Yeah your scripts works now.  
The problem could be the data type of the data variable.

In our script it has a data type of string and in yours its a dictionary.

Now we just have to figure out how we solve this issue.

Anyway thanks for the help.

Yes, just realized that you are creating a dictionary as a string by concatenating string, but you are not attempting to parse it into a dictionary when you are done, before sending it to the request. Either change the approach to build it as a dictionary from scratch or try to parse the string after you are done.
