Thanks for the PR :thumbsup: !

Question: how do I correctly provide a list as a parameter? i.e. for include/exclude ursulas parameters. Perhaps I am providing it incorrectly...?

Trying the URL parameter approach with the fix, I get a 400, and a message that include_ursulas parameter is not a valid list
>  r = requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:9155/get_ursulas?quantity=2&duration_periods=4&include_ursulas=["0xC23F4F463c779Dd27c08939dC495b8b35C952c89"]')
>  r.text
Out[211]: "{'include_ursulas': ['Not a valid list.']}"


and the request body has include_ursulas as a string
>>>>> request body: {'quantity': '2', 'duration_periods': '4', 'include_ursulas': '["0xC23F4F463c779Dd27c08939dC495b8b35C952c89"]'}


Providing multiple values yields a 400 as well:
>  r = requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:9155/get_ursulas?quantity=2&duration_periods=4&include_ursulas=0xC23F4F463c779Dd27c08939dC495b8b35C952c89&include_ursulas=0xbdA6Ba3Ad624582495C55451A')

and yields the following request body with a single string entry value for include_ursulas
>>>>> request body: {'quantity': '2', 'duration_periods': '4', 'include_ursulas': '0xC23F4F463c779Dd27c08939dC495b8b35C952c89'}

Hmm it may be slightly complex… https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57914396/list-of-query-params-with-flask-request-args
I didn’t try include_ursulas[]=…
That is a common way to do it… but might need that getlist stuff… which is no fun
