    Hi,

    Is this what you are looking for?

    How to use resource scheduling search resource availability: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/dynamics365/it/2019/07/15/how-to-use-resource-schedulings-search-resource-availability-api/

    Retrieve resource availability with universal resource scheduling api: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/dynamics365/it/2019/05/21/retrieve-resource-availability-with-universal-resource-scheduling-api/

    Regards,

    Hi Erhan Keskin,

    Thanks for your reply,

    I have developed plugin based on the blogs links that you have added. I am able to retrieve resource based on constraints that I have set but the resource totalAvailableTime is returned as 0. I have looked into the retrieved resource bookings but there is no booking records against those resources in that specific date.

    Thanks

    Aashish

    Is it just in the plugin you see 0 total available time?

    How is it seen in the resource scheduling?

    I just achieve it!!. Here I leave the code:

    OrganizationRequest req = new OrganizationRequest("msdyn_SearchResourceAvailability");
                req["Version"] = "1";
                req["Requirement"] = new Entity("msdyn_resourcerequirement", new Guid("1181fb75-c732-ea11-a813-000d3ab29c25"));
                var SettingsEntity = new Entity("organization");
                SettingsEntity["ConsiderSlotsWithProposedBookings"] = true;
                SettingsEntity["ConsiderSlotsWithProposedBookings"] = true;
                req["Settings"] = SettingsEntity;
                var response = service.Execute(req);

    Entity requirement = new Entity("msdyn_resourcerequirement");
