Hi Nithya,
Thanks , i got the answer basically we've to use plural name but not exact plural name, but like below......
new_city become new_cities, English correct.
new_wolf become new_wolfs, English incorrect.
new_knife become new_knifes, English incorrect.
new_man become new_mans, English incorrect.
My custom entity's details:
Display Name: configuration
plural name: configurations
Name: new_configuration
But in the URL i used "new_configurations" that only worked
Thanks,
Mani
Hi Manikandan,
Please open the following URL in your browser.
yourOrganisationUrl/.../EntityDefinitions eq 'YourEntityLogicalName'
In the results page, find EntitySetName (Ctrl +F). In this way, you can get the entity set name of the required entity (As an example, for Account entity, the entity set name is accounts).
Hope this helps.
Thanks Mam, but one question that "entitySetName" means which name of the entity (Display name,plural name,name)
Its working Alex thanks, but i can get the contact entity record by calling "/api/data/v8.1/contacts("+contactId +")?$select=fullname" but i dont know how to get my custom entity's record. i've tried same with my custom entity but no luck means i dont know which name(Display name,plural name,name) of my custom entity i have to use in url
Hi Manikandan,
You could use the following Javascript code using Web API to retrieve a record using its ID.

function retrieveRecord(recordId) {
var clientURL = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
var query = "/api/data/v8.2/entitySetName?$filter= idlogicalname eq " + recordId;
req.open("GET", encodeURI(clientURL + query), true);
req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
req.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
req.onreadystatechange = null;
if (this.status == 200) {
var data = JSON.parse(this.response);
}
else {
var error = JSON.parse(this.response).error;
alert("Error retrieving Record – " + error.message);
}
}
};
req.send();
}
Hope this helps.
