I'm trying to write a program that makes api calls to Battle.net API, then sorts the characters by their points to create a ranking. My problem is, whenever I call for a character with a special character letter in their name, the call doesn't go through.
I have checked the URL that is sent by hand, and I have gotten the correct API response. I have tried printing every step of the way in my terminal. It seems like the URL is combined correctly despite the special characters - it prints in my terminal correctly - but it seems like the program has a problem with making the call. The whole program is pretty long, so I'll try to only include the part I think is relevant - please let me know if I should add more / all code.
temp = "https://" + region + ".api.blizard.com/wow/character/" + realm + "/"
+ name + "?fields=achievements&locale=en_" + region
+ "&access_token=" + access_token + "";
System.out.println(temp); //this prints the URL in terminal correctly
String apiCall = new Scanner(new URL(temp).openStream(), "UTF-8")
.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
System.out.println(apiCall);
// this prints the whole response, but only does so for characters without
// special characters in their names.
This is the first program I'm writing that's not a school assignment, so sorry if my descriptions are too vague, I will try to provide as much information as I can if needed. Thank you!
