How to create Virtual server in GTM using Python payload methond ?

Hi , I have tried below code for creating VS in GTM under GSLB Server, but getting 403 error, can some please help.

 

            import requests, json, time

            BIGIP_ADDRESS = '1.1.1.1'
            BIGIP_USER = 'admin'
            BIGIP_PASS = 'admin'

                    SLEEP_TIME = 20

    SERVER_NAME = 'abc.test.com'
    VS_ADDRESS = '2.2.2.2'
    VS_PORT = '443'

    def create_vs(bigip, server_name, vs_address, vs_port):
        payload = {}
                payload['kind'] = 'tm:gtm:server:virtual-servers:LTM-1:virtual-serversstate1'
                payload['name'] = server_name
                payload['virtualServers'] = [ {
                    'kind' : 'tm:gtm:server:LTM-test01:virtual-servers','name' : server_name,
                    'destination' : '%s:%s' % (vs_address, vs_port)}]
            return bigip.post('%s/gtm/server/' % BIGIP_URL_BASE, data=json.dumps(payload))

    bigip = requests.session()
    bigip.auth = (BIGIP_USER, BIGIP_PASS)
    bigip.verify = False
    bigip.headers.update({'Content-Type' : 'application/json'})
    print ("created REST resource for BIG-IP at %s..." % BIGIP_ADDRESS)

    BIGIP_URL_BASE = 'https://%s/mgmt/tm' % BIGIP_ADDRESS

    b = create_vs(bigip, SERVER_NAME, VS_ADDRESS, VS_PORT)
    print ("created Virtual Server  \"%s\" with  %s:%s..." % (SERVER_NAME, VS_ADDRESS, VS_PORT))
    print (b)

    It's SOLVED

        def create_VS(bigip,name,address):

payload = {}

 define test virtual
payload['kind'] = "tm:gtm:server:virtual-servers:virtual-serversstate"
payload['name'] = name
payload['destination'] = "%s:%s" % (address, port)
print (payload)
bigip.post('https://gtm.gtm.com/mgmt/tm/gtm/server/LTM-test01/virtual-servers/', data=json.dumps(payload))

    there are different messages with those codes, would need to see the actual json return data to be helpful. I use Chrome's advanced rest client when troubleshooting and investigating new methods, might start there.
