Receive specific data from a webservice using REST API

Question

I want to get data from this API: http://countryapi.gear.host/v1/Country/getCountries. I need that user can write name of the Country in JTextField and get NativeName and CurrencyCode in JTextArea.

I have such a code, it returns data only for Country which I write in HttpGet: HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://countryapi.gear.host/v1/Country/getCountries?pName=Australia");.

But how can I do that user can write the Country and get info for it which he wants?

Well, instead of always sending "Australia", send what the text field contains. — JB Nizet

By calling getText() on the text field. docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/… — JB Nizet

Try to use this

request = new HttpGet(
        "http://countryapi.gear.host/v1/Country/getCountries?pName=country"
                .replaceAll("country", yourTextField.getText())
);
