软代码Jquery Ajax数据密钥

Question

I am new to Javascript and Jquery and I'm trying to make a function for a flexible api call. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to soft code ajax Data keys?

For example:

var call = $.ajax({
    url: url,
    data: {Param: paramValue},
    success: successFunction,
    error: errorFunction
  });

where Param is not an actual parameter in the api call like url/api?Param=paramvalue, rather a variable I had defined earlier like Param = userInput(). So that if the user enters 'metrics' , I will call url/api?metrics.

If not, is there another way of doing this that I should be made aware of?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Well, you could use this way to define the data object :

var param = "metrics";
var data = {};
data[param] = "";
var call = $.ajax({
    url: url,
    data: data,
    success: successFunction,
    error: errorFunction
});
