Automation - Web Request - URL parsing

lcrusan

Hello,

I created a web request automation and this works:

https://dev.azure.com/instance/team/_apis/wit/workitems/$Bug?api-version=7.1-preview.3

However, this does not:

https://dev.azure.com/instance/team/_apis/wit/workitems/$Product Backlog Item?api-version=7.1-preview.3

I believe the spaces in "Product Backlog Item" are breaking the call. Is this a bug or feature? In either case is there a workaround?

Thanks

Hi @lcrusan and welcome to the community!

Yes, spaces are an issue with URLs so I would try encoding the spaces with something like this:

https://dev.azure.com/instance/team/_apis/wit/workitems/$Product Backlog%20Item?api-version=7.1-preview.3

Hi @Mark Segall ,

we can do this work around if we have static value. But in my case, I am getting value from smart variable like - {{issue.summary}}. Any idea how we can handle spaces in endpoint URL if spaces come in this variable.

Hi @Ankit Rastogi - There are two options for this:

```
{{issue.summary.urlEncode}}
```
- This will convert the spaces to "+" which may or may not solve your need.
```
{{issue.summary.replace(" ","%20")}}
```
- This will replace spaces with the %20 that is common in URLs
