Post JSON array using strong parameters

How can I allow a JSON array POST to my API endpoint through strong parameters?

Assuming I have the following JSON:

{ "objects": [ { "attr1": "hi", "attr2": "hi2" }, { "attr1": "hi", "attr2": "hi2" } ] }

How can I get Rails to fit this into its params? I currently get an obscure Unprocessed Entity response when I post the request to my create action.

I have tried both params.require(:objects) and params.require(objects: []), to no luck. Any ideas?
