FAQ

What is URL encoding?
URL encoding converts special characters (spaces, &, =, non-ASCII letters) into percent-encoded form (%20 for space, %26 for &) so they can safely appear in URLs.
When would I use this?
When building query strings, parsing webhooks, sanitizing user input for URLs, or debugging broken API calls with malformed parameters.
