title: How to pass a dictionary in params for requests.api.request?
body: <p>I need to pass a dictionary for my get requests, but when executed like this I get a compilation error : </p>
  
  <pre><code>patVect = {"poo": 0, "pin": 0, "pok": 0, "pat": 0}
  # querystring = {"patients": "{\"poo\":0, \"pin\":0, \"pok\":0, \"pat\":0}"}
  querystring = {"patients": patVect}
  headers = {
      'content-type': "application/json",
      'cache-control': "no-cache",
  }
  response = requests.api.request('get', HURL, headers=headers, params=querystring, verify=False)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I am working with the commented query that works fine. any idea why that doesn't work, or a function that will help.</p>
