Creating multiple groups via Okta API with requests in python

I am trying to create multiple groups via the Okta group API using requests. I have the following working to make a test group but now I need to figure out a way to pass 40+ group names into the body mapped to separate descriptions. I was thinking of using a yaml file with pyyaml but I just dont quite understand how to do that in this case. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import requests

url = "https://{org}.okta.com/api/v1/groups"

headers = {
  "Accept": "application/json",
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
  "Authorization" : "SSWS TESTKEY"
}

body = {
    "profile": {
      "name": "aws#test#api#00000000",
      "description": "API Test Group"
  }
}

r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=body)
