Python asyncio aiohttp request data encoding

Question

I'm using python's aiohttp basic request module to make requests. My request is base64 encoded string and request body looks like:

body = {'request': 'eyJhYmMiOiJ4eXoifQ=='}

Here is the code for sending request:

response = yield from request(method='POST', url=url, allow_redirects=False, headers=headers, data=body)

The problem here is, this is getting received at the other end as:

{'request': 'eyJhYmMiOiJ4eXoifQ%3D%3D'}

which I believe is the url-encoded version of my request body.

How can I avoid this and send request as it is?

Use json parameter. An example from documentation:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.post(url, json={'test': 'object'})
