# Handle query parameters passed to an HTTP endpoint
#### Problem
You want to access the query parameters passed to an HTTP endpoint, such as:
```javascript
http://example.com/hello-query?name=Nick
```
#### Solution
Use the `msg.req.query` property of the message sent by the `HTTP In` node to access the parameters.
**Example**
```markup
[~]$ curl http://localhost:1880/hello-query?name=Nick
Hello Nick!
```
#### Discussion
The `msg.req.query` property is an object of key/value pairs for each query parameter.
In the above example, a request to `/hello-query?name=Nick&colour=blue` results in the property containing:
```javascript
{
"name": "Nick",
"colour": "blue"
}
```
If there are multiple query parameters with the same name, they will be provided as an array. For example, `/hello-query?colour=blue&colour=red`:
```javascript
{
"colour": ["blue","red"]
}
```
