Salesforce Rest API, Issue in getting Params from Rest API

Question

In the below code, If I print the String variable report, I am able to get only half of the string that is 123 characters, while the external person is actually passing me a string that contains around 270charatcters+ So I need help to resolve this issue...

Thank you

@RestResource(urlMapping='/getAppointmentForAnyDoctor/*')
global class GetAppointment {

    @HttpGet
    global static String GetAppointment(){
        //get parameters from API consumer
        String report= RestContext.request.params.get('report');

So externally in my Python code, I am trying to hit the above end point by passing a parameter known as reportURL(its a String) where

reportURL='https://cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.270821/68450050_763628620722454_3089818057065889792_n.pdf/CallADoc_FLowDiagram.pdf_nc_cat=110&_nc_oc=AQlAwDFjo1JVDF9BEwNiwkspl1Dyz7xeDiFdpLzFTsgx4PE14xRL2q64ZCvNgt7VybwAUI8iHKPvT72EC2zNis9&_nc_ht=cdn.fbsbx.com&oh=60f8a48eaf6a01c0057ac856b7ac51d4&oe=5D73731C'

Answer 1

There are several & characters in the string, so they are being parsed as separate parameters. If you can't change the way the external app encodes the string, you'll have to get the separate parameters and rebuild the string.

String report = RestContext.request.params.get('report');
String param1 = RestContext.request.params.get('_nc_oc');
String param2 = RestContext.request.params.get('_nc_ht');
String fullParam = report + param1 + param2;

You are getting the full string. The only issue is when you debug it there is a limit on printed characters per debug statement which is likely truncating the output. Hope this helps.
