<div>Yes, the query parameters I'm talking about are on GET requests – mostly list resources calls – where you use the query parameters to filter the results. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example, list servers, list flavors, list images…..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There aren't a lot of them – is anyone opposed to me showing the query parameters in the URIs?</div>

<div dir="ltr">In general, it's unusual to include parameters on POST request URLs. That's not to say that it can't be done, but I think it might be a bit confusing; even if the parameters are sent on the URL, they ALSO have to be sent as part of the reqeust
body, as a normal POST request.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That said, I'd be all for identifying "query" parameters in the tables...<br>

<div>No, I'm not suggesting that, though that's a good idea. I'm suggesting that the calls that have query parameters show them, like this</div>

<div>For example, in the individual API references, they do appear in the URIs, like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/List_Servers-d1e2078.html" target="_blank">http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/List_Servers-d1e2078.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, this same call on the API Reference page looks like this – (see the "List Ids, names, and links for all servers" call)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute" target="_blank">http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The query parms are described in the table, but don't appear in the URI itself. I find this really confusing. I'd like to have the page changed so that these appear in the URI – what are your thoughts? At the very least, they should be identified as "query"
parameters in the table. Let me know your thoughts!</div>
</div>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>That URL actually refers to many calls, though; Are you suggesting that each call should have its own anchor, such as:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_list" target="_blank">http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_list</a></div>
<div><a href="http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_create" target="_blank">http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_create</a></div>
<div><a href="http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_detail" target="_blank">http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_detail</a></div>
<div><a href="http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_delete" target="_blank">http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute_servers_delete</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd be for that.</div>
