Attempting to use as Accela client

[michaelachrisco]

The error in a nutshell: AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'decode'

---

Hello! I am attempting to use this library as a client library for an internal project. The samples were great and worked as expected.

I am however having some issues using the below swagger/open api implementation up and running:

https://developer.accela.com/docs/api_reference/api-auth.html#

from bravado.client import SwaggerClient
from bravado.swagger_model import load_file
import os
client = SwaggerClient.from_url('https://developer.accela.com/api/v4/v4-records.json')
# ERROR: requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError: Invalid control character '\r' at: line 14 column 184 (char 547)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I also tried:

client = SwaggerClient.from_url('https://developer.accela.com/api/v4/v4-records.json', config={'validate_requests': False,'validate_responses': True,})

to see if I could somehow bypass the validation process, but had the same error. I went ahead and removed the offending \rs in the api spec by downloading the spec and removing, and got a second error:

client = SwaggerClient.from_url(load_file(os.getcwd() + '/api-auth.json'))

This one, im not too sure what this means. I validated the json and its valid.

Here is the json that I formatted: api-auth.json

Thanks for making the library!

Interesting, I was able to get this (potentially) working by doing the following:

client = SwaggerClient.from_url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaelachrisco/accelapy/main/api-auth.json')

In other words, something is different between getting the api via the physical file system and the url.
