Hi,
I am new to Dynamics. In my application a record can be created from Dynamics UI and from Webapi of Dynamics. 
I have a use case in which I should be able to find out that the record was created using webapi in Dynamics or from the Dynamics UI.
Kindly help me with it please. Thanks

    Sadly not - unless the records created via the web api requests are created using a different user account.

    It's probably worth adding that when we start looking at the unified interface you will see the it is really a Javascript framework which itself uses the webapi to retrieve, create and update all the information that is displayed.

    One solution would be to create a hidden field within the UI and add a piece of javascript (which will only run on the client) to put a value in that field when the record is first saved - but this doesn't exist out of the box so you wouldn't be able to identify where the records created prior to the javascript being implemented were created.
