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.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $rest = Chilkat2::Rest->new;

# 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.
my $bTls = 1;
my $bAutoReconnect = 1;
my $success = $rest->Connect('example.com', 443, $bTls, $bAutoReconnect);
if (!$success) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# 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.
my $responseText = $rest->FullRequestNoBody('GET', '/api/search');
if (!$rest->LastMethodSuccess) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText, "\n";
