Your payload in the data variable is not valid JSON. So here you'll want to escape certain special/reserved characters which would otherwise render your JSON invalid. In this example, this would include the double-quotes, so it should look like this--- 

data = '{"name":"test111","parentId":111,"appliesTo":"startsWith(\"system.displayname\",\"Prod\")"}'

Using a JSON validator like https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/  will probably help.
