26522, LP1-AP-52117398, Not Reported

via - Postman rest api call - error message

https://server1:52311/api/query?output=json&relevance=(ids of actions of it, names of computers of it, detailed statuses of it) of results of bes action whose (id of it = 26522) ; (IDs of item 1 of it , Names of item 1 of it , "Not Reported") of (elements of (set of targeted computers of it - set of computers of results of it) , it) of bes actions whose (id of it = 26522)

I’m not real familiar with Postman, but it looks like a problem with your Postman setup. You probably need an option to URL-encode your query, or possibly URL-encode it before you enter the query on Postman.

Exactly, need URL-encode the relevance expression …

This is for example how simply request 'number of bes computers’
https://myserver:52311/api/query?relevance=number%20of%20bes%20computers

Several way to URL-encode an URI, online or using tools. Just the first examples have found online:
