How can I open an URL with dynamic data?

Example:

https://www.google.be/search?q=tagUI

Flow

data_keyword = "tagUI";

https://www.google.be/search?q='+data_keyword+'

ComplainsERROR - [LINE x] invalid URL https://www.google.be/search?q='+data_keyword+'

I solved it like this but this feels very dirty, so perhaps I’m missing a better way

https://github.com/

//api_config.header[0] = 'Header1: value1';
api http://demo3796957.mockable.io/test
echo api_result
echo 'Link - ' + api_json.link

link = api_json.link.replace('https://github.com/','');
echo link

{
  https://github.com/'+link+'
}

@thim81 I’ve updated readme doc with a number of improvements with reference to few of the questions you raised. Also, made a commit in master with following comment. So that dynamic URLs can be used out of the box without having to specify { and } block. Removed URL validation for dynamically formed URLs in order to reduce chance of triggering false error. Thanks for your inputs!

Before this commit, URLs containing variables have to be explicitly set
in { and } block in order to retain the casper context for variables.
With this commit, that is done automatically.

So the lines below will now work. Also, url validation is only done for
raw text url in order not to trigger error for dynamically formed URLs.

link = “abc.com”;
https://'+link+'
