Unable to post authorization header in python requests

I've been trying to post a payload to an endpoint, the endpoint requires bearer token. using the python requests, I'm trying to post the bearer token in the header as

from requests import Session

http= Session()

accessToken = getToken(url=uri,data=payload)

authorization_header_string = 'bearer ' + accessToken

requestHeaders = {"Content-type": "text/plain", "Authorization":authorization_header_string}
         

headerData={"content-type":"text/plain","authorization":requestHeaders}

resp= http.post(url=uri,data=payload,headers=headerData)

but all I get is 401 error, while if I use the same token in postman it works fine. I'm using requestbin to check wherein the authorization shows up only sometimes in the header.

Can you show the actual code (naturally without the actual token or URI), just so we can be sure about the format of your Authorization header? - AKX
Try using: "Bearer " + accessToken; only field names are case insensitive for HTTP headers; values may or may not be case sensitive. - Ionut Ticus
Updated the code now - rbc
Tried with "Bearer " + accessToken it still didn't work - rbc

Try the following:

token = "your token"

headerData={"content-type": "text/plain", "authorization": "Bearer " + token}
