400 On twitter.accountsAndUsers.accountUpdateProfileBanner()

Describe the bug
As per the documentation of Twitter and twitter-api-client, here is the code I’ve written that should update an account’s cover image 👇

const { default: TwitterClient } = require('twitter-api-client')
const fs = require('fs')

const twitter = new TwitterClient({
    apiKey: '[API key]',
    apiSecret: '[API secret]',
    accessToken: '[access token]',
    accessTokenSecret: '[access token secret]'
})

const set = async () => {
    try {
        const data = await twitter.accountsAndUsers.accountUpdateProfileBanner({
            banner: fs.readFileSync('cover.jpg', { encoding: 'base64' })
        })
        
        console.log(data)
    } catch (e) {
        console.log(e)
    }
}

set()

This results in 👇

{ statusCode: 400, data: '' }

and does not update the cover image of the authorized user. A quick note: The import is wrapped in a default, which requires the usage of this ☝️ ugly syntax. Tried on JavaScript CommonJS and JavaScript ECMAScript Modules 🙂

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Copy the above code.
2. Install credentials
3. Have an image on the same directory named cover.jpg
4. Run the script.

Expected behavior
An updated cover image with a response of statusCode of 200 or 201 with data set to an empty string.

Package Manager:
Yarn: v1.22.5 Node.js: v15.0.1

Additional context
According to the documentation, on Twitter, the field banner should be sent as a URL query parameter. But since a banner is usually a big file (relatively) it’s a bad practice to send it through URL query parameters.

Hence Twitter has updated to use x-www-form-urlencoded (POST body) and that isn’t updated in their docs. Thanks, @Silind for making this module and I am 🙂 happy to give more info.

This is working for me in postman. But when tried to update it using this package, I am getting {statusCode: 431, data: ''}, not 400.
