How to send a link with '&'?

[Владимир Бобров]

Dear community,

I setup the integration via API with enterprise ERP system. We need a link to initial document in our ERP-system in the Trello card. The link has a template like this: https://server.com/prod-web/?page=90375&company=company&dc=0

As you see, the link contains '&'. When I send the link via REST-API, only the part https://server.com/prod-web/?page=90375 is saved in the card. The rest is handled as method parameter. 

Is there a way to send the parameters as a JSON?
Or is there any syntaxis to show that the full link is just one parameter?

Kind regards,
Vladimir

@Владимир Бобров you just need to use encodeURIComponent on the values when you send them

Nice try. The problem here is that encodeURIComponent is a JavaScript method. I'm programming from the inside of the ERP-system, which has specific language and specific stackes on board. I could use something from dotnet for example. But the JavaScript I don't know how to apply.🤷

I think you need to use PUT method , are you using POST?

I use post and this works fine for me. The problem is only with '&' symbol

Ok,

all data needs to send URL-Encoded format. 

in PHP we use urlencode function, what language you are at?

But it seems to be possible.
