Describe the bug

)
item = client.rules.lists.items.delete(
    list_id="2c0fc9fa937b11eaa1b71c4d701ab86e",
    account_id="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",
    items=[{"id": "1234567890"}]
)

Return is TypeError: ItemsResource.delete() got an unexpected keyword argument 'items'
Try

client = Cloudflare(
    api_token=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"),
)
item = client.rules.lists.items.delete(
    list_id="2c0fc9fa937b11eaa1b71c4d701ab86e",
    account_id="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",
    extra_body=json.dumps({"items":[{"id": "1234567890"}]})
)

Return is cloudflare.BadRequestError: Error code: 400 - {'result': None, 'success': False, 'errors': [{'code': 10026, 'message': 'filters.api.invalid_json'}], 'messages': []}
