The query path is the endpoint(s) against which requests are issued. The path can be specified as a single endpoint or an array of endpoints (see "Array of endpoints" for details). You can specify the endpoints as a table name-endpoint pair ("<table_name>":"<endpoint>") or by using the #path property in a table definition. The following types of paths are supported:
  • Unparametrized paths
  • Parametrized paths
  • Paths with query parameters

By default, query paths are issued as GET requests unless they are specified in a POST entry. See "POST requests" for details.

The basic syntax of a query path takes the following form:

"<host_name>/<endpoint_path> <json_root>"
host_name
(optional) is the protocol and host name components of the URL endpoint. For example, http://example.com. You can omit this value by specifying the host name using the Host Name (HostName) connection option.
endpoint_path
is the path component of the URL endpoint. The value must be URL-encoded using valid syntax. For example, spaces in an endpoint are replaced with %20. See "URL-encoded values" for details.
json_root
(optional) is a simple path to the element containing the results. If the results are returned in a top-level array, nothing needs to be stated. For nested elements, separate the element names with forward slashes (/).

For example, the following demonstrates a query path for an unparamaterized GET request with a JSON root of countries. 

#path:"http://example.com/countries/ countries",
