You pass arguments in a URL using query parameters. Those parameters are specified in the form parameterName=value.

A parameter list is appended to a URI after a "?". Multiple parameters are separated by "&", as shown here:

  http://{domain}/{address}?parameterName1=value1&parameterName2=value2

For example:

  http://myLongJump.com/networking/rest/user?fieldList=*&sortBy=first_name

For boolean arguments, the value passed can be "1" or "true", "0" or "false".

In some cases, it may be necessary to encode special characters in order to include them in an argument value. For example:

Instead of Use
& (A&B) %26 (A%26B)
space (A B) %20 (A%20B)
