How to Encode a URL

URL encoding, also called percent encoding, represents characters that have special meanings or are not suitable in a URL component.

Step-by-step

  1. Identify the URL component you need to encode.
  2. Keep the URL structure and delimiters separate from the value.
  3. Encode the component.
  4. Insert the encoded value into the URL.
  5. Test the resulting request.

Encode components, not blindly every URL

Query parameter values often need encoding while characters that define the URL structure should remain meaningful to the application.

Common examples

Spaces, reserved characters, and non-ASCII characters may need percent encoding depending on where they occur in a URL.
