How to send Amplitude events with Python

amplitude.py

import json
import requests

AMPLITUDE_API_KEY = "your-secret-amplitude-key"
AMPLITUDE_ENDPOINT = "https://api.amplitude.com/2/httpapi"

amp_event = {
    "user_id": 123123123,  # unique user identifier
    "event_type": event_name,  # the name of event
    "platform": 'Telegram',  # useless if you have only Telegram users
    "user_properties": {
        # set any user-related info you want to tract and filter in Amplitude web UI
    },
    "event_properties": {
        # set any additional information about this action
    },
}

# somehow we need to have json.dumps to make it works
_ = requests.post(AMPLITUDE_ENDPOINT, data=json.dumps({
    'api_key': AMPLITUDE_API_KEY, 
    'events': [amp_event],
}))
