Request parameters

Query parameters help you to filter and request for a specific data from an APÌ endpoint.

You can use query parameters in two ways:

  • Append Query parameters at the end of the URL
  • Use the "Parameters" tab

Adding parameters in the URL

To add a parameter in the URL, append ? at the end of the URL and add a parameter in key=value format.

You can add multiple parameters by separating them using &.

For example, the below URL is filtered to get the data of the first three pokemon

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/comments?postId=1

For which you will get a similar response:

[
    {
        "postId": 1,
        "id": 1,
        "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
        "email": "Eliseo@gardner.biz",
        "body": "laudantium enim quasi est quidem magnam voluptate ipsam eos\ntempora quo necessitatibus\ndolor quam autem quasi\nreiciendis et nam sapiente accusantium"
    },
    {
        "postId": 1,
        "id": 2,
        "name": "quo vero reiciendis velit similique earum",
        "email": "Jayne_Kuhic@sydney.com",
        "body": "est natus enim nihil est dolore omnis voluptatem numquam\net omnis occaecati quod ullam at\nvoluptatem error expedita pariatur\nnihil sint nostrum voluptatem reiciendis et"
    },
    ...
]

Using the Parameters tab

Additionaly, you can add the parameters as a key-value pair in the parameters tab, and these will be appended to the URL automatically when you send the request.
