API question

Mr_English

I have a table called Settings. There is one record per user.  I want to get the record by user_id.

When I attempted to create the API endpoint of settings/{user_id} I got an error message "This name is already being used by another query".  I can't see another API url like that.  Any suggestions?

You are getting that error because you have a variable in your URL.

settings/{user_id}

That is the equivalent to a wildcard - settings/*

So if you had another api endpoint titled settings/stuff, then there would be a conflict since the API wouldn't know which endpoint to route to.

The easiest fix would be to just change settings/{user_id} to settings2/{user_id}

Anything that has a prefix that doesn't conflict with something already there.

Thanks 

Got it working as you suggested.
