Query parameters not properly URL-encoded (pandas data pipeline)

Description
Special characters break API calls when used in data pipelines.

Code snippet

params = {
    "denominazione": "azienda & co"
}

response = client.request(
    "GET",
    base_url,
    "/advance",
    params=params
)

Observed behavior
400 Bad Request due to invalid encoding.

I think the root cause here might be related to the client.request method, which is using the params dictionary directly without URL-encoding the query parameters. IIRC, the requests library (which is likely being used under the hood) expects the query parameters to be passed as a dict with the keys being the parameter names and the values being the parameter values. However, it does not automatically URL-encode the values. You might want to try using the urllib.parse.urlencode function to encode the params dictionary before passing it to the client.request method.
