How to set path and query parameter in HttpRequest?

Question

I am making a REST call to a service that expects a string as a path parameter, how should I pass the string?

My code:

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRquest.newBuilder().uri(URI.create(endpoint)).GET.header("Content-Type","application/json").build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request,Httpresponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
myClass = objectMapper.readValue(response.body.toString(),MyClass.class);

To the endpoint I should add the string myString as a path paramenter. Thanks for the support!

URIBuilder uri = new URIBuilder().setScheme("https").setHost("dog.com");
    List<String> pathSegs = new ArrayList<>();
    pathSegs.add("random");
    pathSegs.add("path");
    pathSegs.add("5");
    uri.setPathSegments(pathSegs);
    System.out.println(uri.build());

Console output: https://dog.com/random/path/5
