TypeError: expected str instance, RequestOptions found

[sant3e]

I'm trying to get the list items in a json format and then dump it in a dataframe
I am having trouble right from the start with the RequestOptions module. Not sure if it's something on my end or with any part of the REST Client

url = "https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/sa/Resources/sfs/_api/Web/lists/GetByTitle('tile with spaces')/items"
request= RequestOptions(url)
response=ctx.execute_request_direct(request)
data = json.loads(response.content)
list_items.extend(data['d']['results'])

I am getting this error:

Exception has occurred: TypeError       (note: full exception trace is shown but execution is paused at: <module>)
sequence item 2: expected str instance, RequestOptions found
  File "C:\user\Projects\newapp\Tests.py", line 57, in <module> (Current frame)
    response = ctx.execute_request_direct(request)

I've tried adjusting the url by removing parts of it (without items, without GetByTitle) but no luck

Starting from version 2.5.11, a separate client (SharePointRequest class) has been introduced, intended for working with the API without involving a model. For example:

import json
from office365.runtime.auth.user_credential import UserCredential
from office365.sharepoint.request import SharePointRequest
site_url = "https://{your-tenant-prefix}.sharepoint.com"
request = SharePointRequest(site_url).with_credentials(UserCredential("{username}", "{password}"))
response = request.execute_request("web")
json = json.loads(response.content)
web_title = json['d']['Title']
print("Web title: {0}".format(web_title))
