[Python] Unable to resolve " not a valid key=value pair (missing equal-sign) in Authorization...

I created an api-gateway to put data in my s3 bucket. When I test it in console it works with no problem. Even when I test my token in the authorizer test it returns an "Allow", so there's nothing wrong with my token. My token validation is

^Bearer [-0-9a-zA-z\.]*$


so my python code for generating my header looks like this:

headers = {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + token,
"Content-type": "application/json"
}


The rest of my code is:

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data={"id":"0678a93d-ee8c-4db5-a831-1e311be4f04b", "test":"12345"})
print(response.text)


The error message I get is "{"message":"'{My Token}' not a valid key=value pair (missing equal-sign) in Authorization header: 'Bearer {My Token}'."}"

My url looks like this:

https://my-api-gateway.amazonaws.com/MyStage, and I am using a {proxy+} in my resources. I noticed if I change my header from Content-type to Accept, it gives me the same error, but if I also change my url to https://my-api-gateway.amazonaws.com/MyStage/any-arbitrary-string/, I get a

{"response":{"status":"VALID", "message": "success"}}



but the file does not show up in my s3 bucket. How do I resolve this?
