[Python] How to upload an image with the wordpress api in Python?

I hope your are fine.

I would like to upload an image in my wordpress library from my computer. I wrote few lines in Python that use Wordpress API.

It is working when I use 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' However, the content added is not an image.

When I change it with 'Content-Type': 'image/jpg' I get an error message which says: Error 403 please forward this error screen to the site owner

What should I do, contact my web hosting company ?

Thank you all for you help

Here is my code:

from requests_toolbelt.multipart.encoder import MultipartEncoder
import requests
import base64
import json
import time
import os


user = "user"
password = "pass"

url = "https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2"
data_string = user + ':' + password

token = base64.b64encode(data_string.encode())

# headers={'Authorization': 'Basic ' + token.decode('utf-8'), 'Content-Type': 'image/jpg','Content-Disposition' : 'attachment; filename=%s'% "test.jpg"}
headers={'Authorization': 'Basic ' + token.decode('utf-8'), 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded','Content-Disposition' : 'attachment; filename=%s'% "test.jpg"}



video = {
"title": "test",
"description": "description",
"media-type": "image",
}

r = requests.post(url + "/media", headers=headers, json=video)
print(r.text)
