Error trying to query NFIB SBET's REST API using Python's requests.post() - json

Question

Essentially trying to get data as per the procedure outlined here: http://www.nfib-sbet.org/developers/
My code is as follows:
url = "http://open.api.nfib-sbet.org/rest/sbetdb/_proc/getIndicators"
data = {"app_name": "sbet",
"params": [
{"name": "minYear", "param_type": "IN", "value":1974},
{"name": "minMonth", "param_type": "IN", "value": 1},
{"name": "maxYear", "param_type": "IN", "value":datetime.datetime.today().year},
{"name": "maxMonth", "param_type": "IN", "value": datetime.datetime.today().month},
{"name": "indicator", "param_type": "IN","value": "OPT_INDEX,expand_employ,plan_capital,plan_invent,expected_bus_cond,expected_real_sales,invent,job_openings,expected_cred_cond,good_time_expand,past_earn"}
]
}
resp = requests.post(url,data=data)
print(resp.json())
The error I am getting:
{'error': [{'context': None, 'message': 'Failed to call database stored procedure.\nCDbCommand failed to execute the SQL statement: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1318 Incorrect number of arguments for PROCEDURE cube_survey.getIndicators; expected 5, got 1', 'code': 500}]}
I have tried to play with the format of my data dictionary and passing it to headers,json,params within requests.post(), but I always get error 400...
Any help appreciated!

Error looks to be from how you've formatted your last VALUE entry. Few things I noticed
Change the single quote (') to a double quote (")
Remove the use of backslash characters (/) in your string
