I’m trying to receive a list or dictionary using _request[“data”]_ in doGet() python resource but not sure how to send data to the resource ---

GET requests do not (cannot) have a body; you need to use URL parameters (and thus, `request["params"]`) to pass data to a GET endpoint. Query parameters go into the URL directly; start query params with a `?`, separate them with `&` and, if necessary, URL-encode any non-basic-ASCII values: `system/webdev/test/asdf?param=1¶m2=2¶m=2` ---

Yes, POST requests accept an incoming body. There are [examples here on the forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/search?q=webdev%20doPost%20request). ---

Via [Google Translate](https://translate.google.com/) > [@Rui\_Gao](#): > > Third-party scripts using the script library can pass the Body value through DoGet The `doGet()` method in WebDev can certainly pass the body content to a script in that project's script library. I'm not sure if that is precisely what you meant. ---

Are you sure about this? I may be misunderstanding you, but I just set up a `doGet` webdev endpoint and pass in `request.data` directly that I use as parameters to a named query and it works - did you mean something else? **Edit: Snip of my setup** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/b/2ba099e0dc5d4c6ac941556385c44472b079ccd5.png) ---

My query data result is in json format using 'FOR JSON PATH' clause. When returning this value from Web Dev - doGet method, it is not showing in the same format. It is splitting the data into multiple blocks. How do I send the query result in doGet return statement? ---

Can you show the output of the named query outside of the doGet call? There's nothing in the endpoint (afaik) or the `decode` function that would break up the response like that. Are you running the query with the same parameters when you're testing outside of WebDev? ---

The query is just a simple select statement and the result is like this with more than 100 locations, {"Data":[{"Location":"01","ALocation":4,"Type":"M"},{"Location":"02","ALocation":105,"Type":"M"}]} SELECT Location, ALocation, Type FROM table1 FOR JSON PATH, ROOT ('Data'); def doGet(request, session): value = system.dataset.toPyDataSet(system.db.runNamedQuery("query1")) jsonString = system.util.jsonEncode(value) return {'json':value} # return {'json':jsonString} -- returns the same result when launched ---

If I remember SQL Server json encoding correctly, you should just be able to do this: ```python def doGet(request, session): locations = system.db.runNamedQuery("query1") return {"json": locations} ``` since `locations` is already a JSON string. You would need to `jsonDecode` if you wanted to return a `dict` instead of JSON. Try that out and see how it goes. Also, I feel like you might find encode/decode errors in the logs if the parameters are in the correct format, I would check those. ---

Found the issue is related to the browser where I was checking the results. Chrome shows correctly, and Edge splitting the data. Thank you for responding to my request!
