Trouble Creating Order with API

[synsci_devs]

Hello, I'm hoping I can get some feedback or insight into what's going wrong here. I am attempting to POST an order to the ShipStation API but with little luck. I can GET order details just find no problem, so my authentication isn't the problem I believe.

I'm using Python, and trying to POST the following sample data in this format below. I have converted the results to a json payload but cannot figure out why i'm getting the 400 error. 

I'm also a little confused as the Create/Update Order as a note that says it requires all fields, with no partial orders being accepted. As such, I have attempted to populate every field, but is this really necessary? Furthermore, I shouldn't populate read only fields as well, correct?

Did this ever get resolved for you? I'm having a similar issues troubleshooting the post create/update api. I know my get request works so it's not the auth for me either.
