It seems that the console ignores the parameters, at least if the method is
GET.

I recommend using twurl instead. Twurl was easier to install than I expected
and it seems to work great, even on Windows.

Hi Daniel,

There are still some bugs here and there with the API console that we
haven't had a chance to clean up yet.

Another alternative you can use to explore the API from a web-based
console is the great API console Apigee provides at
http://app.apigee.com/console
