Hello Team,

Could you clarify, what is the difference between the following endpoints:

server:port/.../ /DynamicsNAV110/api/beta/

and

server:port/.../ /DynamicsNAV110/OData/

I see that endpoints return different scope of methods.

Can I use server:port/.../ /DynamicsNAV110/api/beta/ ?
Or it is only for the beta version?

Beta returns more data and I want to use it for my prod account. Is it applicable?

You can use the api endpoints. The pages are designed to be more lightweight. Odata is just the UI page typically which has a lot of business logic written into it. Processing of requests will be longer as a result.

In the newer versions a greater emphasis is placed on the api. Drawback being it is up to v2 so the beta won’t be perfect in all areas. For your scope of work it might be exactly what is needed. I would ensure robust testing.
