How to pass form data body in Onshape API endpoint using python?

Hi! I am trying to use this endpoint in python, but every time I get the 400 status code. I suspect the problem is that I am sending the request body incorrectly. I tried quite a few options on how I could send the file, then I got to the simplest option and still failed.
The simplest option I am talking about: files = {'file': ('text.txt', 'some,data,to,send\nanother,row,to,send\n')}
The headers also are ok: Accept': "application/json", 'Content-Type': "multipart/form-data"
The request itself is following: res = requests.request((method='POST', parsed_url.geturl(), headers=headers, files=files, allow_redirects=False, stream=True)
I guess it's worth mentioning that my configuration works fine for a large number of requests from the Onshape API list, but this is the only one that caused this dead end. If necessary, I am ready to provide much more information, but I focused on the body of the request, since I assume that is where the problem lies.
Thanks in advance for your help!
