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 fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set rest = CreateObject("Chilkat.Rest")

'  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.
bTls = 1
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
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.
success = rest.AddQueryParam("q","chilkat rest")
success = rest.AddQueryParam("limit","10")

'  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/search")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine(responseText)

outFile.Close
