Hi Gursimrat,

 

I'd suggest taking a look at the http.request context object:

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/developers-knowledge-base/http-request-FreeMarker-context-object/ta-p/9323

 

It has numerous methods for dealing with the request, including a method for getting parameters from the request. This article has an example of an endpoint that pulls in a parameter:

I hope this helps!
