send data query through local file in chrome extension

So on my localhost I can send data quite simply by doing:

http://localhost:8080/folder1/folder2/?q=My_Data and then within folder2 I have an index.html file with a js file attached to it that uses the following code to extract the query:

var data = getUrlParameter('q');

Now this works perfectly fine, but when I put those into my chrome extension I was hoping I could read the parameters in the same way like this:

chrome-extension://MYID/folder1/folder2/?q=My_Data but that doesn't work, it shows a 404. If I replace ?q=My_Data with simply index.html the page loads and if I add index.html?q=My_Data it again shows a 404 message.

Am I missing something? What else could I try? Thanks.

My apologies. I have found the mistake. I didn't apply the content_script_policy with the correct API URL I was using.
