Hi All,

I want to use Odata query in Javascript to get the custom Entity ObjectTypeCode value.

i have tried Odata query with entityName =  EntityView but it seems that this entity is not retrieved through odata call.

Please suggest me the approach.

Thanks,

Jayesh

    Hi Jayesh,

    You could also get the Object Type Code of any entity in the CRM by using a SQL query.

    1. Go to SQL Server Management Studio

    2. Open the Database of your Organisation

    3. Execute the following query

    select ObjectTypeCode,* from entityview

    Hi Jayesh,

    For Dynamics CRM 2016, the version number is 8.1. So replace v8.2 in my above thread with v8.1.

    https://[Your Organisation URL]/api/data/v8.1/EntityDefinitions?$select=ObjectTypeCode&$filter=SchemaName eq 'entitySchemaName'

    Hope this helps.

    Please change the version of api to 8.1 and try again.

    https://[Your Organisation URL]/api/data/v8.1/EntityDefinitions?$select=ObjectTypeCode&$filter=SchemaName eq 'entitySchemaName'

    Thanks for the comments.

    We are using CRM On-prem 2016 version and i guess the suggested Web API method is for CRMD365 Online env.

    I tried this as well but failed to get the entity metadata or objectTypeCode.

    Do we have any other supported method to retrieve the ObjectTypeCode of the entity?

    Hi Jayesh,

    The following URL will give you the object type code of the custom entity.

    https://[Your Organisation URL]/api/data/v8.2/EntityDefinitions?$select=ObjectTypeCode&$filter=SchemaName eq 'entitySchemaName'

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

     you can try this WebApi query:

    <server url>/api/data/v8.2/EntityDefinitions?$select=LogicalName,ObjectTypeCode&$filter=LogicalName%20eq%20%27account%27

    Hi

    You can use Web API

    https://<org root uri>/api/data/v8.2/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='account')?$select=ObjectTypeCode

    Use any Web API JavaScript library.

    Please refer the following:
