Updating a 'Link' field using the API

Question

I am trying to send a link via a python script, with description and thumbnail image via the API to a link field however the code i am trying only displays (in the link field) the raw link URL the raw link. the Python code i have is -

if this was the clickable box in the link field -

someserver.com/somelink/somefile.txt

someserver.com

send_data =


       { "fields":

                   { mylinkfield:

                                 { "type": "link",

                                    "title": "Books to read",

                                    "description": "I wish i could program better",

                                     "url": LINK_URL_VAR,

                                     "thumbnail": LOGO_URL_VAR

                                    }

                    }

          }

I keep trying different parameters and structures, but the only thing i can get is the raw url to send to the field.

I did try reading through the documentation for the API but im still none the wiser.

And now i've hit a rate limit on Podio so i'm a bit stuffed. Any help, i'd greatly appreciate it.

many thanks,

Pete.

I tried various combinations of parameters, then i tried crying when i hit a rate limit. neither worked
