[Python] Send Post request to an external API using AWS Lambda in python

I want to send a post request to an external API (https://example.com/api/jobs/test) every hour.

The Lambda Function that I used is as follows:

Handler: index.lambda_handler
python: 3.6


index.py

import requests
def lambda_handler(event, context):
url="https://example.com/api/jobs/test"
response = requests.post(url)
print(response.text) #TEXT/HTML
print(response.status_code, response.reason) #HTTP


Test Event:

{
"url": "https://example.com/api/jobs/test"
}


Error:

START RequestId: 370eecb5-bfda-11e7-a2ed-373c1a03c17d Version: $LATEST
Unable to import module 'index': No module named 'requests'

END RequestId: 370eecb5-bfda-11e7-a2ed-373c1a03c17d

Any help would be appreciated.
