+        There are two modes of operation:
+
+        1. **Raw body** — pass ``body`` directly. The value is serialized as-is
+           via ``json=body``, which supports any JSON-serializable structure
+           (lists, dicts, etc.). ``kwargs`` are ignored in this mode.
+
+        2. **Keyword arguments** (default) — individual kwargs are collected
+           into a dict and sent as the request payload.  By default the payload
+           is sent as JSON (``json=``), but when ``files`` are provided it
+           falls back to form-encoded ``data=`` because requests ignores the
+           ``json`` parameter when ``files`` is set.  You can override this
+           with ``use_json=True/False``.
+
+        :param method:   API method path, appended to ``self.api_path``.
+        :param body:     A raw JSON-serializable payload (e.g. a list).
+                         When provided, ``kwargs``, ``files``, and ``use_json``
+                         are ignored.
+        :param files:    Files to upload (passed to ``requests``).
+        :param use_json: Force JSON (True) or form-encoded (False) encoding.
+                         Defaults to JSON when no files are attached.
