cURL

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'https://sandbox.ebsco.io/pf/pfaccount/PROFILE/packages?search=boston&offset=1&count=50&orderby=relevance'

Java

// Construct the client
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

// Create the URL
HttpUrl url = new HttpUrl.Builder()
    .scheme("https")
    .host("sandbox.ebsco.io")           
    .addPathSegment("pf")
    .addPathSegment("pfaccount")
    .addPathSegment(PROFILE)
    .addPathSegment("packages")
    .addQueryParameter("search", "a")
    .addQueryParameter("offset", "1")
    .addQueryParameter("count", "50")
    .addQueryParameter("orderby", "relevance")
    .build();

// Build the request
Request request = new Request.Builder()
    .url(url)
    .get()
    .addHeader("accept", "application/json")
    .build();

// Send the request
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

JavaScript

var host = "https://sandbox.ebsco.io/pf/pfaccount/";
var pathsega = "/packages";

// Create the Request
var urlstr = host + PROFILE + pathsega;
var settings = {
  "async": true,
  "crossDomain": true,
  "url": urlstr,
  "method": "GET",
   data: { 
    "search": "boston",
    "offset": "1",
    "count": "50",
    "orderby": "relevance"
  },
  "headers": {
    "accept": "application/json"
  }
}

// Send the Request
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Ruby

# Form the URL 
urlstr = File.join('https://', 'sandbox.ebsco.io', 'pf', 'pfaccount', PROFILE, 'packages')
uri = URI(urlstr)

query = URI.encode_www_form({
    # Request parameters
    'search' => 'boston',
    'offset' => '1',
    'count' => '50',
    'orderby' => 'relevance'
})
if query.length > 0
  if uri.query && uri.query.length > 0
    uri.query += '&' + query
  else
    uri.query = query
  end
end

# Create the HTTP object
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

# Create the request
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
request["accept"] = 'application/json'

# Send the request
response = http.request(request)

Python

# Form the URL
url = ''.join(['/pf','/pfaccount/', PROFILE, '/packages'])

# Create Connection Instance
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("sandbox.ebsco.io")

# Set the Query Parameters
params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'search': 'boston', 'offset': '1', 'count': '50', 'orderby': 'relevance'})

# Create the Request Headers
headers = {
    'accept': "application/json"
    }

# Send Request  
conn.request("GET", url + '?' + params, headers=headers)

# Get Response
res = conn.getresponse()
