I can't pass the Content-Type header and the content is always 0 on POST python request-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a post request with python, but it's not working

import requests

payload = { 'accountID':'20176429'}

h = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

r = requests.post("https://www.simplicialsoftware.com/api/account/GetPlayerProfile", data=payload, headers=h)

print(r.status_code, r.reason)
print(r.headers)
print(r.text[:300]   '...')

Output:

404 Not Found
{'Server': 'nginx/1.20.0', 'Date': 'Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:00:44 GMT', 'Content-Length': '0', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache', 'Pragma': 'no-cache', 'Expires': '-1', 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=2592000'}
...

When I make the same request with Insomnia:

If I remove the Content-Type header from Insomnia I get the 404 error:

I'm running the program from the terminal, using python3 version 3.6.9 with the command:

python3 request.py

When I use the endpoint: https://www.simplicialsoftware.com/ , I get:

200 OK
{'Server': 'nginx/1.20.0', 'Date': 'Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:44:25 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'text/html', 'Content-Length': '15359', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Last-Modified': 'Thu, 30 Sep 2021 04:23:26 GMT'}
