Apostrophe issue in url with OData

I am using oData protocol which add the filter criteria in the url

E.g. /api/restaurants/getall?$filter=substringof('macdonald',Name)

My problem when the value has apostrophe like (macdonald's) it will break the url

It works fine if I replace it with %26 like macdonald%26 but by adding s (macdonald%26s) the url will not work

any suggestions?

I see this is an old post, but I'll point out that the arguments in the substringof expression are switched.

This is aside from the apostrophe (single quote) problem.

When inside the quoted string a single quote can be escaped by doubling it. So in your case it would look like 'macdonald''s'.
