"/items?type=5&name=i+have+spaces"

As this thing seems to be aimed at developers making their own things, I assume you're developing your own stuff that uses this thing, which means you could (remember code attribution!) "copy" this one:

From Dynamic MOTD by @psychonic:

UrlEncodeString

PHP Code:

    int icnt = 0;
    int ocnt = 0;
    
    for(;;)
    {
        if (ocnt == size)
        {
            output[ocnt-1] = '\0';
            return;
        }
        
        int c = input[icnt];
        if (c == '\0')
        {
            output[ocnt] = '\0';
            return;
        }
        
        // Use '+' instead of '%20'.
        // Still follows spec and takes up less of our limited buffer.
        if (c == ' ')
        {
            output[ocnt++] = '+';
        }
        else if ((c < '0' && c != '-' && c != '.') ||
            (c < 'A' && c > '9') ||

            Format(output[ocnt], size-strlen(output[ocnt]), "%x", c);
            ocnt += 2;
