Thanks for your reply. `action=ask&conditions=Category:Event|OnDate::>2017/05/15&printouts=NameOfEvent|OnDate¶meters=sort=OnDate|order=asc`
is the final call I used and it works. I am doing this with python’s requests modules, that already takes care of urlencoding the dictionary I feed in. Happy that all ask’s options work flawlessly also with askarg, by simply adjusting the syntax (eg not using square brackets), and wanted to share in case someone else look up for this and stumble upon the mailing list.
