Here is the amended code which send the request payload as JSON:

import requests as rq
from pprint import pprint as pp

HEADERS = {'content-type': 'application/json'}

r = rq.post('https://api.figshare.com/v2/articles/search', data='{"search_for": "university of sheffield", "page_size":20}', headers=HEADERS)
print(r.status_code)
results = r.json()
pp(results)

Not that for accessing public data you don't need a token.
