How do I use extractor.mangadex.api-parameters option with -o?

[boatboatboatboat]

I am trying to get a createdAtSince=datehere query parameter added to the /manga/{id}/feed request. Using -o extractor.mangadex.api-parameters does not seem to work in the cases I've tried

$ "gallery-dl" "-v" "-o extractor.mangadex.api-parameters.createdAtSince=2023-08-31T10:00:00" "https://mangadex.org/title/79aea528-7cb7-4fbb-a65c-1271d23b7395/section-chief-shima-kosaku"

I have tried
extractor.mangadex.api-parameters={\"createdAtSince\":\"2023-08-31T10:00:00\"} as well

Filling in id and createdAtSince in https://api.mangadex.org/docs/swagger.html#/Manga/get-manga-id-feed gives me 0 chapters as a result which is what I'm expecting
setting api-parameters in the config file does work but I want to use the command line option as part of another program

"-o extractor.mangadex.api-parameters.createdAtSince=2023-08-31T10:00:00"

This needs to be two separate arguments, but it is interpret as only one due to quotes.
I'm surprised the argument parser doesn't complain here.

"-o" "extractor.mangadex.api-parameters.createdAtSince=2023-08-31T10:00:00"

Also, I'd recommend single quotes since you aren't using cmd.exe or no quotes at all unless necessary.

Thank you!

for context it was a debug print of the arguments of a builder object for a process but I now realize the mistake I made

on a side note my config file had api-parameters set to null and this threw an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    conf[key] = value
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

I've fixed it by setting api-parameters to {} but this might be unexpected as it's just a stack trace

I'm surprised the argument parser doesn't complain here.

I believe the option it's trying to handle is " extractor.mangadex.api-parameters" instead of "extractor.mangadex.api-parameters", I've run into this exact problem before but I couldn't remember what the reason for it was
