HELP!! parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line x, column x?! It’s not your Oracle REST API!!

Python POST requests three ways with Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS)
The simple POST request It was bugging me that I couldn’t perform a simple Python POST request to an ORDS REST-enabled table. I don’t mean to convey that this isn’t possible. Up until very recently, I wasn’t able to do this. Luckily I had a few hours free, so I took to the docs to…
