var now = new Date();
var today = new Date().getFullYear();
var odata = "$select=ContactId,new_age,new_dob&$filter=new_dob ne null";
var age = new Date().getFullYear();
SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords("Contact", odata, function(results) {
debugger;
for (var i in results) {

var res = results[i].new_dob;
var newage = results[i].new_age;
var contactid = results[i].ContactId;
var birthyear = res.getFullYear();
if (birthyear != null) {
age=today-birthyear;
update(age, contactid)
}

}
}, errorHandler, function() {});


function errorHandler(error) {
writeMessage(error.message);
}

function update(age, contactid) {
var contact = {};
contact.new_age = age;
SDK.REST.updateRecord(contactid, contact, "Contact", function() {}, errorHandler);
}

    I'm sorry, but I don't see any issues with your call. Try opening a new thread on this specific subject. Maybe somebody else has an idea.

    Other REST calls are working? Have you tried with a tool like Postman or Advance REST Client?

    If you're calling the api from within CRM you shouldn't need to authenticate. Are you calling the api from the CRM context?

    This is the documentation on creating batch requests: msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt607719.aspx

    I also wrote a blog on it here: www.oak3.org/.../webapi-batch-request and if you search there are some topics on this forum as well.

    Please let me know if you any specific questions.
