Query Params in Post Call
When making a POST call, query parameters are often used to provide additional information to the API endpoint. The query parameters are appended to the endpoint URL after a question mark (?), and are separated by an ampersand (&).
Example:
POST https://example.com/api/create-user?name=John&age=30
In this example, we are making a POST call to create a user with the name "John" and age "30".
Query parameters can also be sent in the request body using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format. This format requires the query parameters to be URL-encoded and included in the request body separated by an ampersand (&).
Example:
POST https://example.com/api/create-user
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
name=John&age=30
In this example, we are making a POST call to create a user with the name "John" and age "30". The query parameters are URL-encoded and included in the request body.
It is important to note that some API endpoints may only accept query parameters in one format or the other, so it is important to check the API documentation for the correct format to use.
