flutter: HTTP get request - disable encoding parameters

I'm trying to make a demo app with flutter and trying to fetch products from a demo magento site. This is my code:

Future<List<Product>> fetchProducts() async {
  final params = <String, String>{
    'searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][condition_type]': 'in',
    'searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][field]': 'type_id',
    'searchCriteria[pageSize]': '20',
    'searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][value]': 'simple,configurable,bundle',
    'searchCriteria[currentPage]': '1',
    'searchCriteria[sortOrders][0][field]': 'created_at',
    'searchCriteria[sortOrders][0][direction]': 'DESC'
  };
  var uri = Uri.parse('https://demo.com/rest/v1/default/products');
  uri = uri.replace(queryParameters: params);
  print(uri);


  final response =
  await http.get(uri, headers: {HttpHeaders.authorizationHeader: "Bearer qb7157owxy8a29ewgogroa6puwoafxxx"});

  if (response.statusCode == 200) {
    // If the call to the server was successful, parse the JSON.
    final data = json.decode(response.body);
    final products = data["items"] as List;
    return products.map<Product>((json) => Product.fromJson(json)).toList();
  } else {
    // If that call was not successful, throw an error.
    throw Exception('Failed to load post');
  }
}

When I debugged, the response was 400 - Bad request. I guess that because the uri was encoded to include percentage characters as I printed as below: enter image description here

So how can I disable encoding the uri? Thank you, guys.

I believe you should replace:

  var uri = Uri.parse('https://demo.com/rest/v1/default/products');
  uri = uri.replace(queryParameters: params);
  print(uri);

with: 

  var uri = Uri.https('demo.com', '/rest/v1/default/products', params);

more on this: Uri.https

more on: replace

example result:

enter image description here

regardless of this, if I try with your params, the library behaves normal and encodes the special characters. (see more here)

if we put the actual request in the browser to check the response:

https://demo.mage-mobile.com/rest/v1/default/products?searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][condition_type]=in&searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][field]=type_id&searchCriteria[pageSize]=20&searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][value]=simple%2Cconfigurable%2Cbundle&searchCriteria[currentPage]=1&searchCriteria[sortOrders][0][field]=created_at&searchCriteria[sortOrders][0][direction]=DESC

we get the following response:

enter image description here

And this brings me to my initial suspicion: the API does not support this call.

Maybe you should also check this type of param from your code: 'searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][condition_type]', it seems you are trying to acces some information from a collection but you actually writing a string... try removing the quotes (' bla bla ') from these params id... also try to put the request direcly in the browser(or postman) to see it work.

About the encoding (changing [ to %5B) -- this is normal and it should happen.
