Encode Query
Encode a query object into a URL-encoded query object. A query string is everything after the ? question mark in a URL. Certain special characters, such as space, :, ?, or / need to be encoded because they have special meaning in the URL itself.
This function card is the inverse of Decode Query.
To use this card, build a query object using Object functions such as the Construct, Set, or Zip function cards. This is more easily done when using dynamics inputs from previous steps. Then encode it to a string using this Encode Query function card.
Input

Example
In https://www.example.com/searchcustomers?name=John%20Doe®ion=North%20America, the query string is the part starting with name. You can create it by using Encode Query with this input:
{
"name": "John Doe",
"region": "North America"
}This object is encoded to the query string name=John%20Doe®ion=North%20America.
