Update python dictionary value as a list of strings enclosed within double quotes

I am trying to call a post request using python where the body is a dictionary in which one parameter has to change based on the values of a list.

The list is as below:

my_list = ['a14mnas','ty6798h']

The body for the api call is as below:

api_body = {"Page": 1,"Pages": 3,"Ids": []}

I am trying to update the body as:

api_body["Ids"] = my_list[0]

which will update the body to

"Ids": ['a14mnas']

but I need the value in the list to be enclosed with double quotes as below:

"Ids": ["a14mnas"]

The api call takes only list with value enclosed with double quotes. How do I make the value to be in double quotes.

Tried adding '''+ to the string but it gives a single and double quote

'''+ my_list[0] +'''

If I use this below code, I am able to get the post request to work just fine:

api_body = {"Page": 1,"Pages": 3,"Ids": ["a14mnas"]}myrequest = requests.post(api_url, headers = headers, data = json.dumps(api_body))

Where headers have the authentication token.While looping through the list to update the dict (key: Ids), how do I ensure that it takes the double quote?
