    Fairly that's weird limitation.

    If you want anyway use Soap the only thing I can suggest is to use SoapLogger to build correct request - www.powerobjects.com/.../microsoft-dynamics-crm-soap-logger-a-tool-that-can-greatly-simplify-writing-http-requests

    Hi Andrii,

    Thanks for quick reply.

    I checked the node module you shared and I found that it is using REST WebAPI.

    I can not use REST API and I have to use SOAP.

    If you plan to use nodejs and CRM 2016 I would suggest to consider usage of WebApi instead of Soap. github.com/.../nodejs

    Hi Andrii,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am working on integration project where I will consume the CRM endpoint using SOAP API in nodejs. I am not using any SDK for it.

    That is why I need metadata to create Account, Contact, etc object dynamically.

    Thanks,

    Nikhil
