HTTPS collector not receiving items from scrape?

Using Splunk enterprise. https://45.55.161.5:8000/en-US/app/launcher/home

A HTTPS event collector is listening on 8088 with token DB84F19F-B2F1-4B89-BB38-643DFB641B34

From source, this code is trying to send JSON to Spunk. But Splunk does not receive. Can anyone help to get this right?

Thanks

import requests
import json

url = 'http://45.55.161.5:8088/services/collector/event'
payload = {
"Test": "Splunk ",
}
headers = {
"Authorization": "Splunk DB84F19F-B2F1-4B89-BB38-643DFB641B34",
}
r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
print(r.content)

You could just use a premade HEC python class.

But make sure your token is valid in the permissions for the destination index you are wanting to send to.
