Issue: Payload was added as Form data in request 

Solution: We need to submit JSON payload to the API call. Below is a working example.

import requests
cid = e7ea19ba-5d53-476d-a041-43a3004c6683
bw= 50
url = f"https://api.equinix.com/fabric/v4/connections/{cid}"
headers = {}
headers["content-type"] = 'application/json-patch+json'

data=[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/bandwidth",
        "value": bw
    }
]

response = requests.patch(
  url,
  headers=headers,
  timeout=5,
  json=data
)
