Posted on by GregoryA

Hello,

Could you advise me how call the function in the codeunit via REST API?

BC the Soap services URL format is changed from NAV Soap services URL to REST API.
my request now looks like this:

GET /v1.0/9c0588e3-9590-4a55-b971-2c8a87643214/sandbox/WS/Company3/Codeunit/ReplicationData? HTTP/1.1
Host: api.businesscentral.dynamics.com
Authorization: Basic QURNSU46.....

The BC sent the response

    <types>

                <body use="literal" xmlns="schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../soap"/>
            </input>
            <output name="ApplyReplicationData_Result">
                <body use="literal" xmlns="schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../soap"/>
            </output>
        </operation>
    </binding>
    <service name="ReplicationData">
        <port name="ReplicationData_Port" binding="tns:ReplicationData_Binding">

        </port>
    </service>
</definitions>

But what the parameter is responsible for calling a specific function is not clear to me.

Hi Gregory,

You'll have to publish your custom code either as a Webservice endpoint or an API page.

You can call a custom code via API by using Bound Actions. More info here:

Hi Stefano,

Is 'Bound Actions' work with Soap web service? It seems to be feature only available for ODATA web servises.

Hi Gregory,

The Bound Actions works for both Odata and Soap Web Services (just check when you publish your page as web service it generates an OData URL and a SOAP URL). if you like SOAP, use the SOAP URL.
