Question mark automatically added at HTTP Request

[Maber (Marco)]

Hi!

I’m having an issue when trying a very simple HTTP Request through the HTTP Request Wizard.

As you can see in the screenshot above, this is a very basic http request. I’m trying to connect to: https://api.datamuse.com/words?sp=t??k but, whenever I click on “preview”, the result is the following one:

> Request URL: https://api.datamuse.com/?words%3Fsp=t%3F%3Fk

Request Method: GET
Status Code: 404

For some reason, a question mark (?) is added before words for no aparent reason. By adding this question, the response breaks and is not able to bring any data. Without this question mark, there is no issue at all. What could be the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

For now, can you try as the following?

It worked! Thank you so much! Is there anything I should keep in mind for scenarios like this in the future?

Hi,

"?" character in URL is a separater of query string. If we have this knowledge, we can easily pass parameter in similar case. The following document also helps you.
