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
success = False

Dim rest As New 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.
Dim bTls As Boolean
bTls = True
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
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.
Dim responseText As String
responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/search")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog(responseText)
