title: How to pass a string object with apostrophe to POST call
body: <p>Implementing <a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/issue-addWatcher" rel="nofollow noreferrer">add watcher to JIRA issue api</a>.<br>
  It takes a string object as data input. </p>
  
  <p>When making a post call using python requests, I'm doing this:</p>
  
  <p><code>data = "\"" + data + "\""
  req = requests.post(full_url, headers=headers, data=data)</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to pass a string parameter to the post call while persisting the apostrophe? </p>
