Hi Thomas,

could you please post the complete command resulting in this error? I
think there could be an error in it... ;)

BR,
Marcel

You could have a look at this library:

https://github.com/brennerm/check-mk-web-api/blob/master/check_mk_web_api/__init__.py

I modified it to use the requests library...
if data:
r = requests.post(url, data="request=" +
json.dumps(data), timeout=300)
else:
r = requests.get(url,timeout=300)
r.raise_for_status()

... It's going to be that check_mk doesn't like the payload or the
request content-type header.

Note:
{'hostname':'<hostname'} isn't valid json. String literals should use
"" , not '' ... ran into that yesterday. Personally, I think that most
of the time it's better to put the data in a dict and json.dumps() it.
