multiple values as parameters to POST command..

[onenessboy]

Hi Thanks for your reply,

sorry, i am replying bit late and trying to put out various methods and failing :(

The actual context is i am trying to get some linux server status and posting to slack channel

In original post I have given the sample which is base code which i am trying to build correct code for my context

This is original code

from __future__ import print_function

import boto3
import json
import logging
import os
logging.basicConfig()

from urllib2 import Request, urlopen, URLError, HTTPError

# configuration

# The Slack channel to send a message to stored in the slackChannel environment variable
SLACK_CHANNEL = "#XXXXXXXXXX"
# Add the webhook URL from Slack below
HOOK_URL = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxx/xxxx/xxxxx"

response = conn.get_all_instances()
MESSAGE = response
# Setting up logging
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

slack_message = {
    'channel': SLACK_CHANNEL,
    'text': MESSAGE}

req = Request(HOOK_URL, json.dumps(slack_message))
try:
    response = urlopen(req)
    response.read()
    logger.info("Message posted to %s", slack_message['channel'])
except HTTPError as e:
    logger.error("Request failed: %d %s", e.code, e.reason)
except URLError as e:
    logger.error("Server connection failed: %s", e.reason)

So in above code line number 18 the variable "response" actually returns in below format

{
    "Reservations": [
        {
            "Instances": [
                {
                    "Monitoring": {
                        "State": "disabled"
                    },
                    "PublicDnsName": "",
                    "StateReason": {
                        "Message": "Client.UserInitiatedShutdown: User initiated shutdown",
                        "Code": "Client.UserInitiatedShutdown"
                    },
                    "State": {
                        "Code": 80,
                        "Name": "stopped"
                    },
                    "EbsOptimized": false,
                    "LaunchTime": "2018-02-08T10:37:36.000Z",
                    "PrivateIpAddress": "xx.xx.xx.xxx",
                    "ProductCodes": [],
                    "VpcId": "xxxxxx",
                    "StateTransitionReason": "User initiated (2018-02-08 11:13:34 GMT)",
                    "InstanceId": "xxxxxxx",
                    "EnaSupport": true,
                    "ImageId": "xxxxx",
                    "PrivateDnsName": "xxxxxxxx",
                    "KeyName": "xxxxxx",
                    "SecurityGroups": [
                        {
                            "GroupName": "xxxxxxxx",
                            "GroupId": "xx-xxxx"
                        }
                    ],
                    "ClientToken": "",
                    "SubnetId": "xxxx-xxxxx",
                    "InstanceType": "xx.xxx",
                    "NetworkInterfaces": [
