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. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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

set httpCurl = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpCurl")

' Provide values for variables.
' In this example, "verb" is a path variable, and "id_value" is a query param variable.
httpCurl.SetVar "verb","get"
httpCurl.SetVar "id_value","123"

' Run the curl command.
success = httpCurl.DoYourThing(targetCurl)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(httpCurl.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

set responseJson = CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
responseJson.EmitCompact = 0

statusCode = httpCurl.StatusCode
outFile.WriteLine("response status code: " & statusCode)

success = httpCurl.GetResponseJson(responseJson)
outFile.WriteLine(responseJson.Emit())

' Output:

' response status code: 200
