scala + akka http - how to match entire url with path directive

Question

I have a url

http://localhost:8080/api/search/lookup?limit=3000&m=airid.appname.mapping {appname=*}

path("api"/"search"/"lookup?limit=3000&m=appname.server.mapping") is unavailable

how to match the entire url including parameters and values?

Answer 1

The part of the url after the '?' is referred to as the query string and is technically not part of the path:

a query string is the part of a uniform resource locator (URL) containing data that does not fit conveniently into a hierarchical path structure

Therefore, you cannot access it using the path directive . If you want the entire uri then you need extractUri :

val myRoute = extractUri { uri =>
  //rest of Route logic
}
