We should not be running code that loads a configuration file in
a BEGIN block, as that will execute just by loading the module.
This makes using this module conditionally in other programs or testing
that code more difficult, as we would need to mock either this module
or the configuration file.
Just load the configuration file once in the constructor and cache
its contents, to avoid the overhead.

Instead of recomputing these every time we do a request, cache them
and reuse to avoid the object construction time, when we do not need
different constructor arguments over time.

The to/from_json() are deprecated functions, which we should not be
using. Switch to the new ones, which also means we can stop encoding
the strings to and from UTF-8 explicitly.

* it is important that next_page() retains the original
query params via links->next->href as otherwise
that leads to unpredicted results and no filtering
