    The logical name is always the Schema Name in lowercase - and if you are using the OData endpoint, you can can remove the 'Set' at the end as well.

    you should be able to get the logical name of the lookup value that returned from the odata using below script

    result.lookupattributename.LogicalName   //It will give you entity logical name

    result.lookupattributename.Id   // this will give you record Guid

    result.lookupattributename.Name  // This will give you name of the record.

    for example to get the primary contactid from the account record odata result

    result.PrimaryContactId.LogicalName  // this will return "contact"

    result.PrimaryContactId..Id   // this will return id of the contact record

    result.PrimaryContactId..Name // this will return full name of the contact

    Chitra,

    The result itself is a record for the lookup. I am trying to get something like result.LogicalName.. probably i need to hardcode that value as I don't see a way to retrieve it.

    Thanks

    Odata result does not return entity logical name in the result. But you already have Schema name of the entity in odata query from that remove the string "Set" and convert remaining string to lower case that will give you logical name of the entity.
