I didnt know I need to post the data as form data.
Now it works.
How I can post a JSON payload instead and use that payload for
insert_and_validate?
I tried this:
def POST(table_name,**vars):
import json
data=json.loads(request.body.read())
data=json.dumps(data)
return dict(db[table_name].validate_and_insert(data))
