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.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.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.
bool bTls = true;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  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.
string responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/search");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(responseText);
