curl with Path Variables and Query Param Variables

See more CURL Examples

This example demonstrates using variables located in the path and query params with the {{variable_name}} syntax. PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
string ls_TargetCurl
oleobject loo_HttpCurl
oleobject loo_ResponseJson
integer li_StatusCode

li_Success = 0

// Variables can occur in the path and query params.  
// Variable names are enclosed between {{ and }}

//  curl -X GET https://httpbin.org/{{verb}}?id={id_value}}
ls_TargetCurl = "curl -X GET https://httpbin.org/{{verb}}?id={{id_value}}"

loo_HttpCurl = create oleobject

if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_HttpCurl
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")

// Provide values for variables.
// In this example, "verb" is a path variable, and "id_value" is a query param variable.
loo_HttpCurl.SetVar("verb","get")

// Run the curl command.

Write-Debug "response status code: " + string(li_StatusCode)

loo_HttpCurl.GetResponseJson(loo_ResponseJson)

// Output:
