api - Python requests adding quotes around parameters, causing GET failure

Question

headers = {"accept": "application/json",
           "key": "someSecretKey",
           'User-Agent': None, 
           'Connection': None, 
           'Accept-Encoding': None}
url=r'https://something.something'
idVar='id_123'
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params={'id': idVar})

if I send this straight up, the url I get upon debugging is:

https://something.something?id=%22id_123%22

which causes a 404 error with the API. I confirmed this by using curlify to generate a curl string to use in terminal.

The issue is fixed when I do a .replace('%22','') on the curlify string to get the following url which does work when using curl!!

https://something.something?id=id_123

I guess the API service must be resilient to this. But in the meantime, how do tell requests library to not add the quote markers in the url string?
