Not sure if this helps, but I stumbled on this issue too. The `params` approach is cleaner, but if you must build the URL manually, use `urllib.parse.quote()` for encoding.
Still, why bother? Requests does it better. Here’s a real-world example:
```python
params = {'user': 'johndoe', 'token': 'abc123!@#'}
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data', params=params)
```
Works like a charm. For more, check out [Real Python’s guide](https://realpython.com/python-requests/) on how to pass parameters into url for python requests.
