I am getting IllegalArgumentException when consuming a REST service

0
I want to consume a REST service in MX which takes curly braces in its query parameters. My Endpoint is : https://gateway.eu1.mdsp.io/api/assetmanagement/v3/assettypes?page=1&filter={"name": { "contains": "CNG"}} This works fine from Postman client. Note that the URL here is special because  there is a JSON object. I know that it is a bad practice to have curly braces { } in the query parameter but I need to have this in my query parameter since the REST I am consuming is written by a third party. I get an error when consuming REST service from a microflow. An error has occurred while handling the request.

You need to urlEncode the filter part:

'https://gateway.eu1.mindsphere.io/api/assetmanagement/v3/assettypes?page=1&filter=' + urlEncode('{"name": { "contains": "CNG"}}')

Did you try to excape the curly brace with another curly brace (so use {{ instead of just one {?

Regards,

Ronald

[EDIT]
Just to be sure. Did you try filter={{"name": {{ "contains": "CNG"}}}} ?
