Python post request with Bearer token

Question

Im trying to make a script that post data on REST service together with Bearer token.

Here is working PHP example:

$postData = array( 'app' => 'aaaa' );  $ch = curl_init($apiUrl); curl_setopt_array($ch, array(     CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Authorization: Bearer '.$accessToken],     CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,     CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,     CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($postData) ));  $response = curl_exec($ch); 

Im trying to do the same with python. Here is what i got so far...

import urllib2, urllib import json  auth_token='kbkcmbkcmbkcbc9ic9vixc9vixc9v' hed = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + auth_token} data = urllib.urlencode({'app' : 'aaaaa'})  url = 'https://api.xy.com' req = urllib2.Request(url=url, headers=hed, data=data) content = urllib2.urlopen(req).read() print content 

I get HTTP Error 400: Bad Request. Any help appretiated...
