Add item thows error when type isn't specified in the item_properties dictionary

I'm using the API for Python to script adding content. The documentation states that the type key is optional in the item_properties dictionary when adding content. However, when I leave it out I get the following error:
Exception: 'type' and 'title' property required.
(Error Code: 400)

Here is the documentation that I referenced that says type is an Optional string.
https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#contentmanager
(Navigate to>"add">under the "Key:Value Dictionary...." table> note the "type" information

Here is the snippet of code I'm using:

Throws the error above:

item_prop = { "url": url, "title": title, "description": description, "accessInformation": accessInformation, "licenseInfo": termsofuse, } gis.content.add(item_properties=item_prop)

Will work:

item_prop = { "type": type_item, "url": url, "title": title, "description": description, "accessInformation": accessInformation, "licenseInfo": termsofuse, } gis.content.add(item_properties=item_prop)
