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.

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Rest rest = new 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.
        boolean bTls = true;
        boolean bAutoReconnect = true;
        String responseText;
        try {
            rest.connect("example.com", 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect);

            // 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.
            responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET", "/api/search");
        } catch (ChilkatException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getLastErrorText());
            return;
        }

        System.out.println(responseText);
    }
