    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.

    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.
