using rest api to enable transmission in remote process group

[mohammed shambakey]

Hi

I'm trying to call nifi rest api from Python "request" module (
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/) to enable transmission in a
remote process group (I think this is done by changing the "transmitting"
element in the required input port to a boolean "true").

So, I get the JSON file of the remote process group using this Python
"requests" module commad:

rpg=requests.get("http://localhost:8085/nifi-api/remote-process-groups/<id
of remote process group>").json()
The output json file is attached

I modified the "transmitting" element of the the input port to boolean
"True", then, I tried to pass the modified JSON file to the following
command

rpg_new=requests.put("http://localhost:8085/nifi-api/remote-process-groups/<id
of remote process group>", json=rpg).json()

But I receive the following error:
"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rpg_nifi_create.py", line 116, in <module>

rpg_update=requests.put(url_rpg_update+rpg['id'],json=rpg,headers=token_header).json()
  File
"/home/shambakey1/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/models.py",
line 826, in json
    return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)
  File "/home/shambakey1/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line
339, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/home/shambakey1/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line
367, in decode
    raise ValueError(errmsg("Extra data", s, end, len(s)))
ValueError: Extra data: line 1 column 2 - line 1 column 63 (char 1 - 62)
"

I tried to truncate the passed JSON file such that it contains information
only about "revision" and the modified "inputPorts" list, but still the
same problem.

I can the JSON file (before and after modification) using jsonview, so I
think there is nothing wrong the JSON structure (e.g., no independent
dictionaries). I don't know what is the problem?
