Bad Request - Error in query syntax in "EntityDefinitions" entity in on-premises

Hi,

www.abc.com/api/data/v8.0/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='task')/Attributes

Using above URL I'm getting all attributes of a task by logical name in ONPREMISES but it gives me an error. 

{
  "error":{
    "code":"","message":"Bad Request - Error in query syntax.","innererror":{
      "message":"Bad Request - Error in query syntax.","type":"Microsoft.OData.Core.ODataException",

    }
  }
}


can anybody suggest me what is a concern here?

    I'm getting the same error, I'd be interested in knowing. If I remove the filter it works perfectly, but I get this error each time I use filters on any of the metadata item endpoints. It doesn't work as a query param either.

    I wonder if it has to do with the API version. Because you are using v8.0 and I am using v8.1 but the API docs say to use v8.2, but I get an error when I use that version.

    Try this structure when filtering (this is for an entity with the SchemaName of Account):

    options.url = encodeURI(`${orgURI}/api/data/v8.1/EntityDefinitions?$filter=SchemaName eq 'Account'`)

    That worked for me. 

    So in your case it should work like: 

    options.url = encodeURI(`www.abc.com/api/data/v8.0/EntityDefinitions?$filter=LogicalName eq 'task'`)

    I just tried the following with CRM Online and CRM On-Premise (v8.2):

    xyz.crm.dynamics.com/.../EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='task')/Attributes

    xyz.domain.com/.../EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='task')/Attributes

    and they both work and return all the data.

    What version and service pack exactly are you of Dynamics CRM?

    You can find it in Personal Settings -> About.
