Passing parameters to URL from 3rd party API plugin

  • Hopefully anyone has a simple solution ??

    I am using a 3rd party plugin to get listings with a API key. The problem is when people do a search and click on a listing and go back the search query is gone.Only in chrome and firefox not in safari.

    Is there a way to put the Parameters in the url so when you go back the search query is remembered?

    Or maybe a way to cache the query? or hang it to the back button?

  • I don’t see the connection between the API and the search function you describe. If you use a plugin for this, my advice would be to contact the plugin developer about it.

    If it a third party you need to ask them. There are ways you could save strings but it depends on the software. If it was using JavaScript’s you could push the information into local storage or index dB if it resides on the same site. If its php you could store it in a Cookie or in a database table. If they are on different sites you would probably be using REST and storing the last query on the calling site. The site returning the information on a REST application doesn’t keep track of request or sites asking for the information. So it would be completely up to the site making the request to keep track of it. Check with the developers of the 3rd party Library.
