I'm facing a big problem after creating the API of a backend. I have a form with a GET AJAX method to filter and get results. It works fine but as the urls are generated from the users choice, there are N options I can't create each combination for when using or not each filter field.
Here is an example of one generated url:
http://example.com/api/?select1=choice1&tag=word&active=true
Also if the user decides to chose only select1 and tag
Is there a way to do this?

6,467 PointsI'm not sure I completely understand your question but I have a couple Ideas:
—You could include a value like 'unknown' for fields not specified by the user then ignore these fields on the backend.
—You could include a new field which tells the backend which fields the users has specified.
