AWS Lambda Component Update Error 400

[Kevin Juma]

Hi,
I am new to Statuspage and I am currently experiencing an error 400 when I try to update a Statuspage component via AWS Lambda.

This is the code for the lambda function I am using:

import requests
import json

def post_to_statuspage(payload):

headers = {'content-type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Oauth a31d80fb-xxxxxx-xxxxx0849' }
url = 'https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/0b7rflm22xxx/components/q74nxxx8zt7'
return requests.patch(url=url, data=payload, headers=headers)

def package_data(payload):

data = {'event' : payload }
response = post_to_statuspage(json.dumps(data))
return response.status_code

def lambda_handler(event, context):

alerts = event["component"]
status = []
for alert in alerts:
status.append(package_data(alert))

return status

The test event/payload I am using only has the following:

{
"component": {
"status": "under_maintenance"
}
}

Where could the problem be?
