Example of post request with JSON parameters? about birdy HOT 2 OPEN

Passing parameters as JSON is something new to Twitter API, as it wasn't an option when birdy was written and it looks like we can't currently handle this use case.

I have a general idea how to handle this and should have a new version out in a day or two, time permitting.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, haven't really worked with twitter API in a while, so this change went unnoticed.

@cherdt can you check out this branch (features/json-params) and let me know if it works. I don't have time to test this fully, but a quick test with requestb.in indicates that it should.

For API methods that require JSON params, the syntax is:

params = {
    "type": "message_create",
    "message_create":  {
        "target": {
            "recipient_id": "6039192"
        },
        "message_data": {
            "text": "hi there"
        }
    }
}

response = self.client.api.direct_messages.events.new.post(params)

You just pass a dict to post() and birdy will handle the rest.

If all is OK, i'll release a new version ASAP.
