Hi AndreeLi
I don't have an answer how you could deal with this error other than writing an SDK, but i've an explanation why it happens.

Webcon API is created using Swagger (OpenAPI) specification, so i would assume, that they are also using some kind of library to execute REST API actions.
Based on HTTP specification RFC 7231*
> A payload within a GET request message has no defined semantics;
sending a payload body on a GET request might cause some existing
implementations to reject the request.

GET requests shouldn't have a Body - data should be contained within the path or query part of the url, so properly implemented library shouldn't allow sending body when the verb is GET, and that is exactly what happens.
