# GlideURI- Scoped

The GlideURI API provides methods to handle URI parameters in a scoped application.

**Note:** Do not use the GlideURI API in scripts that are executed during export or in background jobs.

## Scoped GlideURI - GlideURI\(\)

Instantiates a GlideURI object.

## Scoped GlideURI - get\(String name\)

Returns the value of the specified parameter.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|name|String|The parameter name.|

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|String|The value for the specified parameter.|

```
var gURI = new GlideURI();
gURI.set('sysparm_query', 'priority=2^active=true' );
var fileString = gURI.get('sysparm_query');
gs.info(fileString);
```

Output:

```
priority=2^active=true
```

## Scoped GlideURI - getFileFromPath\(\)

Returns the file name portion of the URI.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|String|The file name portion of the URI.|

var fileString = gURI.get('sysparm_query');
gs.info(fileString);
```

Output:

```
priority=2^active=true
```

## Scoped GlideURI - toString\(String path\)

Reconstructs the URI string and performs the proper URL encoding by converting non-valid characters to their URL code. For example, converting & to '%26'.
