I realize that fundamentally I'm probably going about this the wrong way so I'm open to any pushes in the right direction.

I'm trying to use the HipChat API to send a notification to a room like so:

https://www.hipchat.com/docs/api/method/rooms/message

I'm trying to build the URL in the example with a js object's parameters, so basically I'm trying to convert this:

var hipChatSettings = {

            format:json,

            auth_token:token,

            room_id: 1,

            from: Notifications,

            message: Message

        }

To this:

https://api.hipchat.com/v1/rooms/message?format=json&auth_token=token&room_id=1&from=Notifications&message=Message
