How to get data from a custom Entity

I want to make a curl request to my ms dynamics instance and get the data out of a custom object. I am able to get the data out of accounts and knowledge articles. But, I am having trouble getting data out of my custom object.

My custom entity name is "new_customobject" and I'm using the API endpoint "https://{organization_name}.crm8.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/new_customobject" to get the data. But, I am getting the error:

{"error":{"code":"0x8006088a","message":"Resource not found for the segment 'new_customobject'."}}


I used the same endpoint for accounts, but I got the data which is "https://{organization_name}.crm8.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/accounts?$select=name&$top=4".

This endpoint is working perfectly for accounts and knowledge articles. Do I have to change the API endpoint in the case of custom entities in order to retrieve data out of them?

Hi

You need to use the objects collection name, when making the request.

It will probably be "https://{organization_name}.crm8.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/new_customobjects"

you can use my tool Dataverse REST Builder to generate the requests.

As you are using curl, you can look at the generated url in one of the syntaxes, or you can export to Postman and see inside Postman the url and the headers/body.

hope it helps
