Hi @sandeeppandey456 ,

The following should work, it looks like the issue was that you used `"message"` in your `payload` instead of `"text"`:

```auto
text = str(input("Enter the message"))
payload = {"sender": "Rasa","text": text})
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.post('http://10.101.1.239:5005/model/parse', json=payload, headers=headers)
response = response.json()
print("response :\n",response)

```

That being said, I’m not sure the server will send back the `sender_id` bit. You could try with `message_id`: [Rasa Open Source Documentation](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/pages/http-api#operation/parseModelMessage)

Alternatively, you could load a NLU model directly in your code: see [Using nlu model with Interpreter.load in Rasa 3.0 - #8 by isgaal](http://forum.rasa.com/t/using-nlu-model-with-interpreter-load-in-rasa-3-0/50460/8)

Hope that helps
