Implement request as JSON for google geolocation API - json

Question

I'm trying to implement google geolocation API in order to get a location by providing the cell data. Would like to make a form where you put in the cell info and get its location.
Here's the page i'm following: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation/intro
I have MNC, MCC, CID, but I really can't understand how to set up a form in HTML that POST a request, with the body in JSON.
Can anyone post me an example please?
Thanks!!

i wrote a python script that return the GPS location of a cell. it uses Google Geolocation API, if there is no result, it looks up the coordinates using OpenCellID API.

***You need to initialize the script in order to fix the import and the dependency.
This is only a Beta version of the project***
This python file works as the engine for the project.
