--url-query

Add a piece of data, usually a name + value pair, to the end of the URL query part. The syntax is identical to that used for --data-urlencode with one extension:

If the argument starts with a '+' (plus), the rest of the string is provided as-is unencoded.

The query part of a URL is the one following the question mark on the right end.
