Hi there,
I'm trying to implement web api's into a terminal program. With
some help at the IRC have gotten pretty far but just hit a
roadblock trying to manipulate the web api to accept input from
the user.
Example:
auto content =
get("www.webapiurl.com/data/v4/example?name=category&from=2022-01-24&to=2023-01-24&apikey=01010101010101010101");
writefln! %s (content);
the above is just an example and for the most part it works but
I am unable to make the 'category','from=date' and 'to=date' a
user modified variable.
It doesn't matter how I attempt to split the API into different
sections and define variables before running the program it
wont compile.
Has anybody ever run into this and if someone has could you
point me to some example code that might make it ease for me to
understand, would greatly appreciate.
Perhaps:?
```d
auto content =
get(format("www.webapiurl.com/data/v4/example?name=category&from=%s&to=%s&apikey=01010101010101010101", fromDate, toDate));
writefln!"%s"(content);
```
Best regards,
Alexandru

Try this:
```D
import std.uri;
auto content =
get("www.webapiurl.com/data/v4/example?name=category&from=2022-01-24&to=2023-01-24&apikey=01010101010101010101".encode);
```
