Answer 1

When using try:

app.get("/:username/:bookmark/", function(req, res) {});

With the : you do not state which path you get, but it will get all paths and you know what the path is if you type req.params.username or req.params.bookmark. If you want the path to /username/bookmark/ you must do this:

app.get("/username/bookmark/", function() {});
    //Do something
});
