Resource not found for the segment 'EntityKeyDefinitions'.
If i use /api/data/v9.0/EntityMetadata also iam getting same error.
EntityDefinitions is working but in that there is no property for getting Keys.
Can you please send the query that works fine for Retrieving Alternate Keys.
Hi
You have to use the Keys attribute of EntityMetadata
