URLQueryEncode

URLQueryEncode[key1val1,key2val2,…]

creates a URL-style query string from an association of keys and values.

URLQueryEncode[{param1val1,param2val1,…}]

creates a query string from a list of rules.

Details and Options

  • The vali can be strings, numbers, or the following special forms:
  • None,Null,Missing""
    True"true"
    False"false"
    URL["url"],CloudObject["url"]the encode form of "url"
    {e1,e2,…}e1, e2, …
  • URLQueryEncode has the option CharacterEncoding, which specifies what type of character encoding to use for the output. The default is "UTF-8".

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (4)

Encode a list of parameters:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"name" -> "John Doe", "title" -> "Reg. Manager: Northwest"}]

Use Missing or None to represent a missing parameter value:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[<|"user" -> Missing, "number" -> 3, "other" -> None|>]

Nested lists are flattened:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[<|"number" -> {1, 2, 3}, "name" -> {"jack", "john", "bob"}|>]

URL and CloudObject can be encoded as values:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"url" -> CloudObject[]}]
Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"url" -> URL["http://www.wolfram.com"]}]

Options  (3)

CharacterEncoding  (1)

Percent encode with a specified encoding:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"university" -> "Eötvös Loránd University"}, CharacterEncoding -> "MacintoshRoman"]

SortQueries  (1)

Sort query parameters by using "SortQueries":

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"c" -> 4, "z" -> 1, "a" -> 2}, "SortQueries" -> True]
Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"c" -> 4, "z" -> 1, "a" -> 2}]

RemoveEmptyQueries  (1)

Remove empty parameters by using "RemoveEmptyQueries":

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"a" -> 2, "c" -> 4, "z" -> None}, "RemoveEmptyQueries" -> True]
Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"a" -> 2, "c" -> 4, "z" -> None}]

Possible Issues  (1)

Repeated keys are not supported by Association:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[<|"value" -> 1, "value" -> 2|>]

To specify multiple values, collect them in a list:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[<|"value" -> {1, 2}|>]

Alternatively, use a list of rules:

Wolfram Language code: URLQueryEncode[{"value" -> 1, "value" -> 2}]
