Hi,

Is there a way in Web API to include the related entities in a single query without performing the @data.nextLink, for example if I issue the following request

localhost:5555/.../contacts eq '4200722132'&$expand=mli_contact_accountregistration_registrantaccountid

I want to see the related mli_contact_accountregistration_registrantaccountid records in the payload without issuing another request to the following link

"">idwicrmapd01.mlijkt01.manulife.com/.../mli_contact_accountregistration_registrantaccountid"

Hi Benjamin,

Good you are able to resolve it. For reference, you can also use the FetchXMLBuilder to generate oData queries from FetchXML

Best Regards

Web API doesn't support INNER join, so instead of using OData filter expression, I used the expression /contacts(guid) and use the $expand
