    You need to url encode the quotes if they aren’t already. So when you send it, it needs to look like this.

    /setting/admins?filter=status%3A%22active%22

    Things like Postman auto do that for you.

Separate your problems by getting it to work in postman first. Then you’ll know if the problem is syntax in groovy or syntax in the api call itself.

{{url}}/setting/admins?filter=status:"active"

This ^^ works for me in postman.

So, you just want your url string to result in that same thing:

resourcePath = "/setting/admins"
queryParams = "offset=${offset.toString()}&size=1000&filter=status:\"active\""
url = "https://${account}.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest${resourcePath}?${queryParams}"
println(url)

I took this url and popped it into postman and it worked just fine.

Are you getting an authentication error? Is it possible you’re not calculating your signature properly?
