Example Python code for moon image from demo console fails with Error 422

[jddavisuk]

Hi - Yet more help please

I can get moon image displayed successfully in the Demo Page, so my app id and secret are now ok.

I cut and paste the example python code (below) directly from the Demo Page Console, but get a 422 error when I run it in python 3.9.2

I have copied the python code from the console and the error it produces below

CODE
import http.client
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.astronomyapi.com")
payload = "{"style":{"moonStyle":"default","backgroundStyle":"stars","backgroundColor":"#000000","headingColor":"#ffffff","textColor":"#ffffff"},"observer":{"latitude":53,"longitude":-1.5,"date":"2023-10-24"},"view":{"type":"portrait-simple","parameters":{}}}"
headers = { 'Authorization': "Basic ZTc2YmQ1YzktMjU3NC00MjRlLWI1MzktZmY3OWQ2MWE0Njk5OjVmMmQ2YjczNDRjZTdjMmJkZDI4Yjc5MzZkNGRiYWQ2MjgyZDYyMjljZmExMTIyNDVhZDhmMjFjZjRkZDBmODBmNDY2MmM2OGUzYWY5MTNkODUzNjU1NGQ5YjExNGFiYTU3NzJkNmYzNDg4ZjRlMmQ5ZDk4MTIzNjNlNGVkMjE3M2E3NDIxODliMGFiMmRhYmMwZDY2ZmU2OWI4NzkzYzg2NGM2MjUwYTBkOWQzODAyNWFmZjlkMjhmZGRhZjEwNjBmMTAzNDE4M2E4NWQ1ZGM2MTM4NzJhYzI3ZGZkNTU5" }
conn.request("POST", "/api/v2/studio/moon-phase", payload, headers)
res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()
print(data.decode("utf-8"))

After much googling, I have now resolved this issue.
The sample code needs an additional item adding into the Header before the Authorization element.

'Content-Type': 'application/json'
