Summary
When adding multiple instances of the same query parameter in Connector Builder for API calls, only the last parameter is taken when generating the call. Looking for a workaround.
Question
hello peeps, I’m using the connector builder to make API calls to an endpoint, I’m adding query parameters to my GET request and I would like to be able to repeat several times a same parameter, like <https://myapi.com/v2/myendpoint?my_parameter=value1&my_parameter=value2> . When I add several times the same query parameter with the same name in the builder it just overwrites and take only the last parameter when generating the call. Does anybody know a workaround?

Have you tried ?my_parameter[0]=val1&my_parameter[1]=val2 I imagine it will depend heavily on the server framework (i’ve not tried it just used it in the past somewhere some time…)
hey Scott! thanks for your answer, I just tried it and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be supported by the API I’m using, it’s complaining that the query field is not valid:
ERROR```
(FYI I'm querying the <https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/|AdSense Management API>)
I’m sure there is a way to do that in the Airbyte builder, it feels like a common use case
<@U04NSL0BPD0> I have the impression this is more for making different calls with several parameters values and not one call with different values for the same parameter, or?
at the end I hardcoded the query parameters in the URL path, it’s not the cleanest solution but that’s the only thing I could come up with (if people face the same issue and find this thread
