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.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim rest As New Chilkat.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.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  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.
Dim responseText As String = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/search")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(responseText)
