Add a Path Substitution Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its value.

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

#  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.
bTls = True
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Add path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
#  URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.
rest.AddPathParam("{userId}","12345")
rest.AddPathParam("{orderId}","98765")

#  The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print(responseText)
