URL Encoding Guide

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet.

Only alphanumeric characters and a few special characters are allowed in URLs without encoding.

When to Encode:

  • Query parameters and values
  • URL paths with special characters
  • Form data submission
  • API requests

Safe Characters

These characters don't need encoding in URLs:

Letters: A-Z a-z
Numbers: 0-9
Special: - _ . ~ ! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? # [ ]
