    I took the long road.

    I downloaded BC20 Onprem.

    in Users there is a webservice key. I made use of this key and a browser extension called "Wizdler" to retrieve the API bodies. This work for now until Microsoft completely removes OData URL and the User webservice keys.

    Hi Daniele,

    In you example you used this structure in your body to get item information or to create a new item:

    {

    "number": "PostmanItem",

    "displayName":"TryOauth20"

    }

    How did you get this structure? How did you know how to use the structure as the body?

    I'm trying to retrieve my SOAP request body. I can see I have a connection and that the API responds, but I can't get information or Post Information.
