I am trying to register a user via API using Python Request.

Here is my code

import requests

url = "www.website.com/webservice/rest/server.php?createpassword=1&username=thisissifumwike&auth=manual&password=Tester@2023.&firstname=Domain&lastname=Tester&email=hello@gmail.com&maildisplay=sifugmail&city=Daressalaam&country=Tanzania&timezone=99&description=I am a good tester&firstnamephonetic=Sifu&lastnamephonetic=Domain&middlename=Tester&alternatename=Tunety&interests=books, codes, forex&idnumber=FMM001&institution=FMM&department=Traders&phone1=0611222333&phone2=0611333222&address=Daressalaam&lang=en&calendartype=gregorian&theme=default&mailformat=1&customfields=&wstoken=token&wsfunction=core_user_create_users&moodlewsrestformat=json"

payload={}
headers = {}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

However upon sending that request I get this response

{
    "exception": "invalid_parameter_exception",
    "errorcode": "invalidparameter",
    "message": "Invalid parameter value detected"
}

URL must be something like this

www.website.com/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=THESERVICETOKEN&wsfunction=core_user_create_users&moodlewsrestformat=json&users[0][username]=USERNAME&users[0][password]=pdelis1!Pdelis&users[0][firstname]=FIRSTNAME&users[0][lastname]=PASSWORD&users[0][email]=EMAIL
