here a little working sample. Testet with 2.1.0p21:

import json
import requests

_api_url = f'https://your.cmk.host:443/your_site/check_mk/api/1.0'
_base_header = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer your_automation_user your_automation_secret',
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

url = f'{_api_url}/domain-types/host_config/collections/all'

data = {
    'folder': '/subfolder1/subfolder2',
    'host_name': 'your_new_host',
}

data = json.dumps(data)
response = requests.post(
    url=url,
    headers=_base_header,
    data=data,
)
