Creating an opportunity using Rest API

Using the following call and JSON data I have been trying to Create a new opportunity attached to an account. Headers/Call are correct as I've been able to create Leads/Accounts. Something with the JSON is wrong but i'm not sure what it is. 

/services/data/v53.0/sobjects/Opportunity

data={
'Name': "Test opportunity",
'Accountid': "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
'closedate': "1/12/2021",
'stagename':"Needs Analysis",
'Probability': "10"
}

Use the following, made the following changes
  • Changes single quote to double quote
  • Change the date format
  • Give the real AccountId.
  
data = {
"Name": "Test opportunity",
"Accountid": "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"closedate": "2021-13-12",
"stagename":"Needs Analysis",
"Probability": "10"

@Abdul Khatri
That worked, I believe the issue I was having was the format of the Date. 
Another question, is there anyway to call the account with the actual name? For my script storing the IDs will be kind of a nightmare.
