    Hi,

    There are a lot of blogs available for WEB API.

    once you have learned the concepts you can use REST builder to save some time

    Please use only once you have learned the concepts of REST and WEB API otherwise you will struggle when it comes to debugging issues.

    If you are on the Dynamics 365 July 2017 Update, take a look at the following blog articles from Andrew Butenko (series of 3):

    butenko.pro/.../microsoft-dynamics-365-v9-0-usage-of-new-oob-webapi-functions-part-1

    I you are still on Dynamics 365, there are a couple of tools that might help you out in developing webapi scripts. See the link for tool comparison:

    www.briteglobal.com/.../dynamics-365-webapi-library-comparison

    Hope this helps.
