Solution: Request Parameter Recipient is Missing & keyword `json` not supported

[Chen-Han]

Hi there, great post, I really enjoyed reading it.
I had a small problem replying messages.
The line #14
requests.post("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages?access_token=" + ACCESS_TOKEN, json=data)
does not work in my case, it seems like python requests module that I am using does not have keyword arg json, also, the request made must contain a Content-Type:Application/json header
other wise, an error reminding request parameter recipient is missing is returned from facebook
this one works

import json
resp = requests.post("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages?access_token=" + ACCESS_TOKEN, data=json.dumps(data), headers={'Content-Type':'Application/json'})

Hope it helps anyone else reading it.

Can you not upgrade the version of requests module?

Yes I can, but I think it's good to make a note here when someone else is searching for a solution.
I changed the title a bit so it's easier to search.
