Q:

Getting JSON from http://tinywebdb.appinventor.mit.edu

I am trying to get and store JSON data from http://tinywebdb.appinventor.mit.edu from python using requests.
I am trying to have a common web DB for an android app and a desktop app.
I am trying to do something like this:
import requests
data = {"tag": "q1"}
r = requests.post('http://tinywebdb.appinventor.mit.edu/getvalue', params=data)

and then the code should return 
["VALUE","q1","999999999"]
but in JSON format
but it returns status_code 404
I am new to working with APIs so please help
Thanks

A:

use data argument, not params:
import requests
data = {"tag":"q1"}
r = requests.post('http://tinywebdb.appinventor.mit.edu/getvalue', data=data)
print(r.json())

output:
['VALUE', 'q1', '999999999']
