Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL Encoding?
URL Encoding (also known as percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Characters that are not allowed in a URL (like spaces, ampersands, or slashes) must be converted into a valid format, usually a percent sign % followed by a two-digit hexadecimal representation.
When should I encode a URL?
You should encode a string when you are placing it into a URL query parameter or path. For example, if you are passing an email address or a piece of text that contains spaces or special characters to an API via a GET request, it must be URL encoded so the server parses it correctly.
