Hi ,

My rest post URL contains $ in it. Since $ is used in Katalon to use as a variable, how to escape $ in the URL.

https://some.test.com/datval/Sessions?$numb=10&$search=id 7&$presence=yes

Thanks,
Vedesh

The “$” character is a reserved character and you should not use it in a URL (unless it is previously percent-encoded before building the URL string).

Hi, I want to use variable (server hostname and port) from execution profile as parameter in REST API URL. How to do it in Katalon?

In Postman, it is incredibly easy, just set hostname and port in environments, and use API URL as i.e. https://{{HOSTNAME}}:{{PORT}}/rest/v1.0/administration/clusters and it works.
