HI
an snippet from the docs of the API I use
Multiple filters
Filters can be applied by repeating the “filter” parameter in the URL. For example, the following URL:
GET /records/categories?filter=id,gt,1&filter=id,lt,3
when I do that, only the 2nd parameter is sent
even if I disable the function.
Is there any tip how to send the parameter twice?
Logfile
Thanks Rob
when i switch this one on i still only get the second parameter
i would expect an array then
?filter[1]=uuid,eq,54dd6e8c-6d43-48a9-ad3d-a65339394199
&filter[2]=type,eq,sample
But still only the 2nd parameter is sent
why?
I’m not sure this will work because the second filter will replace the first in the query param. A url can only have a unique set of query parameters.
Why can’t you create the necessary expression in just one filter parameter by combining the logic?
HI Alex
Please Look at the foo example - it is directly out of make http request
By default, Make handles multiple values for the same url query string parameter key as arrays (e.g. www.test.com?foo=bar&foo=baz will be converted to www.test.com?foo[0]=bar&foo[1]=baz ). To disable this feature, activate this option.
“Disable serialization of multiple same query string keys as arrays” is ON
Why they only send the LAST key ?
It’s quite commen (I think) to use the same parameter twice as they also do in there own example
www.test.com?foo=bar&foo=baz - foo gets 2 values …
It looks like a bug to me

Does it work if you just put the parameters in the url directly instead of using the query strings fields?
good idea . i put both parameter in 1 field but i had problems with the & (encoded) but i will try your solution and report - thanks
NO it is not working - looks like the URL is trimmed before the Query String is added
only get
“GET /records/exam_sets/?filter=uuid%2Ceq%2C54dd6e8c-6d43-48a9-ad3d-a65339394199 HTTP/1.1” 200 39689 “-” “Make/production”
mhh but thanks anyway rob
@trob999 did you also test out the API calls within Postman to make sure its not an API issue?
Yes Postman response is OK - Exact what I expect - also both parameters in th APi Server Logfile. Since MAke is (according to the apach logs) not sending the right URL the response i s wrong
make is not adding the second Parameter…
also when i swicth OFF "Disable serialization of multiple same query string keys as arrays”
The URL is not modilated correctly !!! that is why i guess it is a bug
Hey @trob999 , its a bit of a weird API (looks like oData but at the same time is not) however this does indeed seem like a bug…
Could you create a support ticket with the team, since they will be able to assist you more.
Let us know how that goes!
I still think that Make is not sending it correctly - so the API I am using is not important - I could use another API and see what it receives
I expect to see the following in the WAHTEVER API server log files.
Version with ARRAY - serialization OFF
www.test.com?foo[0]=bar&foo[1]=baz
Version without Arry - serialization ON
But make sends only in BOTH cases
Which IMHO is a bug !
I will ask our expert next week as I have a workaround for the weekend
