Passing special character as part of URI parameter

Question

I have to pass a special character ('#') hash as part of my URI parameter while using Postman.

http://localhost:9082/client/rest/Retrieval/listemail?bookID=#1063

The below bookID value is not getting passed to the server. Can someone help.

Answer 1

You can use the built feature of Postman to help you with this. Simply, highlight the part of the URL that you would like to encode and right click.

This will display a context menu with the option to either Encode or Decode the selected value.
