Answer 1

The answer working great. But found another solution;

import requests
import json

url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url'
data = {'longUrl': 'http://www.google.com/'}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)

then

answer = json.loads(r.text)

or

answer = r.json()

Here is requests package; code and doc
