I definitely suggest you to use the downtime example in the REST API documentation:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pprint
import requests

HOST_NAME = "localhost"
SITE_NAME = "production"
API_URL = f"http://{HOST_NAME}/{SITE_NAME}/check_mk/api/1.0"

USERNAME = "automation"
PASSWORD = "test123"

session = requests.session()
session.headers['Authorization'] = f"Bearer {USERNAME} {PASSWORD}"
session.headers['Accept'] = 'application/json'

resp = session.post(
    f"{API_URL}/domain-types/downtime/collections/service",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": 'application/json',  # (required) A header specifying which type of content is in the request/response body.
    },
    # This schema has multiple variations. Please refer to
    # the 'Payload' section for details.
    json={
        'start_time': '2017-07-21T17:32:28Z',
        'end_time': '2017-07-21T17:32:28Z',
        'recur': 'hour',
        'duration': 3600,
        'comment': 'Security updates',
        'downtime_type': 'service',
        'host_name': 'example.com',
        'service_descriptions': [
            'CPU utilization', 'Memory'
        ]
    },
)
if resp.status_code == 200:
    pprint.pprint(resp.json())
elif resp.status_code == 204:
    print("Done")
else:
    raise RuntimeError(pprint.pformat(resp.json()))
