how to use clause “Where IN” in apex ords (REST api)

Question

I am using apex ORDS to create my own REST api.

what I'm trying to do is to create a query that returns in json format a list of animes linked to a specific user :

to help visualisation, I have user with ID = 1 that has a seen 3 animes : anime ID : 1,2 and 4

the request I want to do in ORDS is :

select *
from table
where ID in (1,2,4)

I'm on android studio using java and what I want is to create an URL of this type : "https://apex.oracle.com/****/apex/****/****/getAnimeList?q=" + theList

The problem is that I can't find how to catch ?q in ORDS and use it it my query.

How do I get ?q in ORDS and could you give me an example please? thanks

Answer 1

Everything in the Query String in ORDS is automatically turned into a Bind. There's nothing extra to be done. "q" is an exception because it is used internally by ORDS for Query Filtering. That means q= has to follow a very exact syntax and has specific function tied to it.

For the others, here's an example. Just choose a different letter/name and it'll work fine.
