Issue while consuming API, using create_by_url

[viva_kd]

Dear Experts,

When i Am trying to consume API, i am getting error "invalid Command :action=get"

below is sample api, 

http://123.45.678.901:1234/WXYZ/api.svc/v2/attendance-daily?action=get;field-name=userid,username; date-range=01012023-02012023 

i am trying to consume via "cl_http_client=>create_by_url", 
is it possible to consume api having semicolon(;), or is this problem with wording in api action=get,

are both supported in api, please let me know your insight on this.

Try with %3B instead of ;

data(semicolon_url_escaped) = escape( val    = ';'
                                      format = cl_abap_format=>e_uri ).

Good, it solves the semicolon error, but now the actual error is that it's an invalid command. Please refer to the documentation of your API, test it using Postman or whatever software.
