How to do a HTTP DELETE request with Requests library

Use requests.delete instead of requests.post

payload = {'some':'data'}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
url = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v6/" + data_description + ".json"

response = requests.delete(
    url, 
    data=json.dumps(payload), 
    headers=headers,
    auth=HTTPBasicAuth(toggl_token, 'api_token')
)
