I believe just just need to escape the curly brackets to make this work:

f'{{"requests":[{{"indexName":"New_Telemart","params":"query=Mobiles&maxValuesPerFacet=10&page="{i}"&highlightPreTag=__ais-highlight__&highlightPostTag=__%2Fais-highlight__&facets=%5B%22brand_name%22%2C%22categories%22%2C%22sale_price%22%2C%22total_rating_average%22%2C%22express_delivery%22%5D&tagFilters=&facetFilters=%5B%5B%22categories%3ASmartphones%22%2C%22categories%3AMobile%20%26%20Tablets%22%5D%5D"}},  {{"indexName":"New_Telemart","params":"query=Mobiles&maxValuesPerFacet=10&page=0&highlightPreTag=__ais-highlight__&highlightPostTag=__%2Fais-highlight__&hitsPerPage=1&attributesToRetrieve=%5B%5D&attributesToHighlight=%5B%5D&attributesToSnippet=%5B%5D&tagFilters=&analytics=false&clickAnalytics=false&facets=categories"}}]}}'

You can read the f-string documentation for more information

The error is caused by the fact that the string is including dictionaries. As the standard dictionary and f-string uses {}, you are indeed going too deep. You will need to escape the brackets or remove the dictionary from the string to effectively utilize the f-string.
