## GET requests

To make a GET request use `Amplify.API.get`:


```dart
Future<void> getTodo() async {
  try {
    final restOperation = Amplify.API.get('todo');
    final response = await restOperation.response;
    print('GET call succeeded: ${response.decodeBody()}');
  } on ApiException catch (e) {
    print('GET call failed: $e');
  }
}
```

## Accessing query parameters & body in Lambda proxy function

> To learn more about Lambda Proxy Integration, please visit [Amazon API Gateway Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-create-api-as-simple-proxy-for-lambda.html).

If you are using a REST API which is generated with Amplify CLI, your backend is created with Lambda Proxy Integration, and you can access your query parameters & body within your Lambda function via the *event* object:

```javascript
exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
    console.log(event.queryStringParameters);
    console.log('body: ', event.body);
}
```

In case you do not have it already, alternatively, you can update your backend file which is located at `amplify/backend/function/[your-lambda-function]/src/app.js` with the middleware:

```javascript
const awsServerlessExpressMiddleware = require('aws-serverless-express/middleware');
app.use(awsServerlessExpressMiddleware.eventContext());
```

Accessing Query Parameters with Serverless Express

In your request handler use `req.apiGateway.event` or `req.query`:

```javascript
app.get('/todo', function(req, res) {
  const query = req.query;
  // or
  // const query = req.apiGateway.event.queryStringParameters
  res.json({
    event: req.apiGateway.event, // to view all event data
    query: query
  });
});
```

Then you can use query parameters in your path as follows:


```dart
Future<void> getTodo() async {
  try {
    final restOperation = Amplify.API.get(
      'todo',
      queryParameters: {'q': 'test'},
    );
    final response = await restOperation.response;
    print('GET call succeeded: ${response.decodeBody()}');
  } on ApiException catch (e) {
    print('GET call failed: $e');
  }
}
```
