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.

LOCAL nSuccess
LOCAL oRest
LOCAL nBTls
LOCAL nBAutoReconnect
LOCAL cResponseText

nSuccess := 0

oRest := 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.
nBTls := 1
nBAutoReconnect := 1
nSuccess := oRest:Connect("example.com", 443, nBTls, nBAutoReconnect)
IF (nSuccess == 0)
    ? oRest:LastErrorText
    oRest:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  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.
oRest:AddQueryParam("q", "chilkat rest")
oRest:AddQueryParam("limit", "10")

//  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
cResponseText := oRest:FullRequestNoBody("GET", "/api/search")
IF (oRest:LastMethodSuccess == 0)
    ? oRest:LastErrorText
    oRest:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF
