How to Fetch Data with Multiple Parameters from an API in Flutter

In the world of mobile applications, retrieving data from APIs is a common task that developers face frequently. As a Flutter developer, you might know how to fetch data with a single parameter using a RESTful API. However, you may find yourself needing to pass multiple parameters to fetch more specific information. In this guide, we'll discuss exactly how to achieve this by diving into a practical example.

The Problem

You're building a Flutter application and have successfully managed to retrieve data using a single parameter, such as an ID. For instance, consider the following code snippet which successfully retrieves data based on that ID:

The concern arises when you want to fetch data not just by the ID but also by another parameter, such as userId. How can you modify your request to accommodate that?

The Solution

To fetch data using multiple parameters, you simply need to adjust your API endpoint and the method that calls it. Here’s a step-by-step look at how to achieve this.

Step 1: Modify Your Function Signature

First, update the fetchData function to accept two parameters: id and userId.

Step 2: Construct the URL with Multiple Parameters

You can now construct the URL to include both parameters. Use the ampersand (&) to separate the parameters in the URL.

Summary

You started with a function that fetched data using a single parameter.

By modifying the function to accept multiple parameters, you constructed a URL that catered to both the ID and userId.

This simple adjustment provides a powerful way to filter the data you retrieve from an API, enhancing the functionality of your Flutter app.

Conclusion

Fetching data using multiple parameters in Flutter is a straightforward process once you know what to do. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can effectively retrieve specific data targeted to your application's needs. Keep experimenting, and happy coding!
