curl with Path Variables and Query Param Variables

See more CURL Examples

This example demonstrates using variables located in the path and query params with the {{variable_name}} syntax. Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // Variables can occur in the path and query params.  
    // Variable names are enclosed between {{ and }}

    //  curl -X GET https://httpbin.org/{{verb}}?id={id_value}}
    String targetCurl = "curl -X GET https://httpbin.org/{{verb}}?id={{id_value}}";

    CkHttpCurl httpCurl = new CkHttpCurl();

    // Provide values for variables.
    // In this example, "verb" is a path variable, and "id_value" is a query param variable.
    httpCurl.SetVar("verb","get");
    httpCurl.SetVar("id_value","123");

    // Run the curl command.
    success = httpCurl.DoYourThing(targetCurl);
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(httpCurl.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    CkJsonObject responseJson = new CkJsonObject();
    responseJson.put_EmitCompact(false);

    int statusCode = httpCurl.get_StatusCode();
    System.out.println("response status code: " + statusCode);

    httpCurl.GetResponseJson(responseJson);
    System.out.println(responseJson.emit());

    // Output:

    // response status code: 200
    // {
    //   "args": {
    //     "id": "123"
    //   },
    //   "headers": {
    //     "Host": "httpbin.org",
