What is this called?
-
I want to get data from a website. The website provides an API in the form of:
https://website.com/page?p1=123&p2=“text”
If I type the query into my browser address bar I get a JSON text back in the browser window. What is this type of query called? If I can get the terminology correct then I can start to search how to automate the query in my C++ app. Thanks.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

It is called a programming question and it is better placed in Quick Answers[^] :-D
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I got it all sorted thanks to the helpful replies. And it was a "what is this?" question, not a programming question as I at no point asked for code or even a "how do I do this?". But thanks for setting me straight :-\

That is the problem, I can never tell from text if one is teasing or not. The :-D smiley should have been enough of a clue but sometimes I can be pretty dense.:~
