Getting this error when using batch_save to update kvstore through Splunk python SDK.

This works fine when posting same content through curl, not sure if some limitation through splunk SDK. Anyone have any idea on quick fix?

return json.loads(self._post('batch_save', headers=KVStoreCollectionData.JSON_HEADER, body=data).body.read().decode('utf-8'))
File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/adp_cmdb/bin/splunklib/client.py", line 3615, in _post

When you call the client.data.batch_save() be sure to put an asterisk in front of your passed parameter.
