WebAPI retrive data from an userquery on custom entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jowabwi 5

Hello, 

I'm completely new to Dynamics and Web API.

We have several custom entities. I can for example check company_contract : 

GET [Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='company_contract')?

I created a userquery via advanced view on that entity.

I found this documentation how to call userqueries: 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/webapi/retrieve-and-execute-predefined-queries

But It seems like it is only working with predefined entities. 

Is there a possibility to call a userquery that is based on an custom entity? 

Thanks for your help in advance

    What you see is Id of your record. Label should be there as well and placed under the field with name

    _bwi_steuerungdurch_a_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue so something like following:

    "_bwi_steuerungdurch_a_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "Engagement Mgr."

    Now I have another issue.....

    In the reply there are not the actual values that I can see in the userquery in the portal.

    There are some kind of ID or Hash value instead.

    Is there a possibility to lookup the correct values?

    e.g.

    [...]

    "_bwi_steuerungdurch_a_value":"adca4f46-2ddc-e811-8428-00505681ec7a",[....]

    In the userquery in Dynamics there is a link with the name  "Engagement Mgr."

    Yes your are right, now it worked.

    The error was I used company_contract in the URL but it should be company_contracts.

    Hello,

    That should work fine for all entities. Can you may be share the code that you use that is non-worky?
