handling multiple query parameters in tastypie

Question

How can I handle parameters like in www.www.ww/api/user=XXX&comment=XXX&friend=XXX style queries(multiple parameters), couldn't found in documentation. (maybe didn't read well)

I've never used tasypi, but you can access the get parameters in django from an HttpRequest object (normally within a view) like so -

if 'user' in request.GET:
    user = request.GET['user']

Have a look a the django docs on request and response objects. You might even find it handy to check the docs on writing views. A basic view (as apposed to a class based view) uses the HttpRequest as an argument to the function. So

def my_view(request):
    if 'user' in request.GET:
        user = request.GET['user']
    if 'comment' in request.GET:
        comment = request.GET['comment']

EDIT

A glance at the Tastypi docs suggests that you should be using the class Meta on your Resource to set this up. Something like -

class MyResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        filtering = {
            "user": ('exact',),
            "friend": ('exact',),
            "comment": ('exact',)
        }

I believe you can also get at the GET parameters through bundle.request.GET if that's any use.
