How to get Account Balance using python?

[Wagons]

I'm trying to get my account balance using python but getting the following error : {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'error': {'code': -32700, 'message': 'DSC-0008'}}.

Could anybody share the request and header structure should look like to get back a successful response?

i'm currently using the end point
EXCHANGE_ENDPOINT = "
https://api.betfair.com/exchange/account/json-rpc/v1"

following request : {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'method': 'AccountAPING/v1.0/getAccountFunds'}

and the following header : {'X-Authentication': **********, 'X-Application': **************}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DSC-0008 is a JSON Deserialisation Parse Failure.

See if you can isolate the final JSON string that your program sends and paste it on here so we can see what's wrong with it. I assume you've logged in successfully.

Use this python library

Thanks a lot for the responses, i'll do that jabe and come back to you, yes i've logged in sucessfully. I don't want to use the library as i've built the whole application from scratch myself.

Thanks bfexplorer.

jabe - i actually found the issue. I wasn't using json.dumps for the request and so was sending it through as you said incorrectly. Appreciate your input.
