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.

let rest = chilkat::Rest::new();

// 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.
let b_tls = true;
let b_auto_reconnect = true;
if rest.connect("example.com", 443, b_tls, b_auto_reconnect).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// 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.
let _ = rest.add_query_param("q", "chilkat rest");
let _ = rest.add_query_param("limit", "10");

// For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
let Ok(response_text) = rest.full_request_no_body("GET", "/api/search") else {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("{}", response_text);
