Ready API: Rest call with same Parameters

How do I go about adding multiple parameters with the same name. In the application, you can not add a parameter with the same name.

 

For example 

 

endpont: http://api.pleasework.com

resource: /ids

parameters: id,id

so the call would look like http://api.pleasework.com/ids?id=1&id=2

 

any ideas?

    I figured it out

    on the request property: add a multi-value delimiter \|

    also select Disables URL-Encoding of the parameter value

    then

    make 2 parameters 

    id 

     

     

    on the request test steps fill them in according for various permutations :

    id&id=&id=

    or

    1&id=2&id=3

    and so on

      For this call, 2 ids are provided and the expected response will be a shape containing information for both ids.

       

      Ready API does not allow you to add two parameters with the same name. See picture.

       

      How do you work around thing. This was identified as a defect years ago.

    I think issue is still there. But if you really need, i suggest you to try below.

     

    Name: id=1&id

    Value =2
