I need to pass the below string to a GET API method call. However since the string has a %in it, it becomes a bad url. How do I achieve this?

I have a query json

var world = JSON.stringify(query);

console.log(world);

Output:

{ "world" : "keyvalue" : { "data" : {"key" : "hundred","value" : "100%"} } }

I then pass this to the API as below

var uri = '../api/hello_world/test/' + world;

API call:

 server.route ({
    path: '/api/hello_world/test/{text*}',
    method: 'GET',
    handler: async function (req, reply) {
    console.log(req)
    ...

The request is not getting sent to the API as the url becomes invalid with %%22 - %22 for "

I tried encoding with encodeURI(world) and the url now has %25%22. The request seems to be invalid here as well.

Not sure how to resolve this. Any help is appreciated.

If it is not the whole URI that is being encoded, then use *encodeURIComponent* – Kaiido Jan 17 '19 at 05:22
That doesn't work too! – fledgling Jan 17 '19 at 05:27
Then your problem is somewhere else. What is the error you get? How do you know it "doesn't work"? What framework are you using? – Kaiido Jan 17 '19 at 05:33
