Add a Query Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddQueryParam, which adds or replaces a query-string parameter. The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value; Chilkat URL-encodes both as needed.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim rest As ChilkatRest
rest.Initialize("rest")

'  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use True for HTTPS on port 443),
'  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com", 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
If success = False Then
    Log(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Add query-string parameters.  The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value.
'  Chilkat automatically URL-encodes names and values as needed.
rest.AddQueryParam("q", "chilkat rest")
rest.AddQueryParam("limit", "10")

'  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
Dim responseText As String = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET", "/api/search")
If rest.LastMethodSuccess = False Then
    Log(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Log(responseText)
