How to use the meraki.api_helper.APIHelper.to_dictionary function in meraki

Args:
            obj (object): The given Object to form encode.
            instance_name (string): The base name to appear before each entry
                for this object.
            array_serialization (string): The format of array parameter serialization.

        Returns:
            dict: A dictionary of form encoded properties of the model.

        """
        retval = []

        # If we received an object, resolve it's field names.
        if hasattr(obj, "_names"):
            obj = APIHelper.to_dictionary(obj)

        if obj is None:
            return []
        elif isinstance(obj, list):
            for element in APIHelper.serialize_array(instance_name, obj, array_serialization):

        else:
            retval.append((instance_name, obj))

        return retval

Returns:

            their API formats.
