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.

var
success: Boolean;
rest: HCkRest;
bTls: Boolean;
bAutoReconnect: Boolean;
responseText: PWideChar;

begin
success := False;

rest := CkRest_Create();

//  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use 1 for HTTPS on port 443),
//  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
bTls := True;
bAutoReconnect := True;
success := CkRest_Connect(rest,'example.com',443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success = False) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(CkRest__lastErrorText(rest));
    Exit;
  end;

//  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.
CkRest_AddQueryParam(rest,'q','chilkat rest');
CkRest_AddQueryParam(rest,'limit','10');

//  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
responseText := CkRest__fullRequestNoBody(rest,'GET','/api/search');
if (CkRest_getLastMethodSuccess(rest) = False) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(CkRest__lastErrorText(rest));
    Exit;
  end;
Memo1.Lines.Add(responseText);

CkRest_Dispose(rest);
