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.

llSuccess = .F.

loRest = createobject("CkRest")

//  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use .T. for HTTPS on port 443),
//  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
llBTls = .T.
llBAutoReconnect = .T.
llSuccess = loRest.Connect("example.com",443,llBTls,llBAutoReconnect)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    release loRest
    return
endif

//  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.
loRest.AddQueryParam("q","chilkat rest")
loRest.AddQueryParam("limit","10")

//  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
lcResponseText = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/search")
if (loRest.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    release loRest
    return
endif
