Hi community  
I'm new to node-red and try to config a simple http endpoint (REST API). I startet adapt with the samples from the cookbook: this one with one single parameter works fine ([https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/handle-url-parameters](https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/handle-url-parameters)). Now i wanted to pass 2 or more parameters. So I try to adapt [this example](https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/handle-query-parameters).

But in my case it only accepts the first parameter:

api.mydomain.cloud/api/cm/v1/getdoglistbysearch?clientid=1234&query=test  
api.mydomain.cloud/api/cm/v1/getdoglistbysearch?query=test&clientid=1234

I read the values with msg.req.query.query and msg.req.query.clientid

Do i have adapt the example wrong with 2 or more parameters?  
Daniel

The example from the link you shared works fine for me  
Can you share your flow ?

This is the test flow i used making a request to `https://<NR_IP>:1880/hello?clientid=1234&query=test`

Thanks for the food for thought. I went through all the nodes again and found the error in the two switch nodes that check the validity of the parameters. I can now read the parameters correctly with rec.query.parametername. And it works.
