Hey, I'm trying to fetch out the data with JSON I've spent way too much time on google and tried every single solution with no success.. when I send the request it raises an json.decoder.JSONDecodeError Exception. maybe can you help?

class TextOcrRes:
    def on_post(self, req, resp):
        """Handles Text POST requests"""
        json_data = json.loads(req.bounded_stream.read().decode("utf-8")) # json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
        print(json_data)

What I'm sending:

r = requests.post("http://x.xx.xx.xx/translate", data={'image_data':'message'}) I'm on python 3.6.8
