Hashtag not passing by Angular HttpClient

Question

I need to call rest api for example:

let developerId ="123#212";
let url = `${Constants.BASE_URL}${marketId}/developers/${developerId}`;
return this.http.get(url);

But backend only getting 123 instead of 123#212

What I tried so far is to do but not working

Calling the rest api using Postman perfectly working but not in Angular

Why postman able to call this kind of rest api and angular not able to do it? — richersoon, Jun 03 '21 at 11:05

Instead of sending this with hashtag use HttpParams to send this data you can see the same being used in the question you mentioned.

In your post/get request you can add this

this.http.get('URL', {
      params: new HttpParams()
        .set('param-a', 'value-1')
        .set('param-2', 5)
    })

HttpParams is for query parameter right? But the hastag is part of URL not query parameter – richersoon Jun 03 '21 at 10:58
Yes but when you want to send data to backend it should be sent using Params or Headers, also looks like # data is for browsers only & even if you encode you would still need to send it as a param or it would just act as a different URL.
