RE: How to write simple Javascript Web api

Hi Ishan,

If you haven't written any JavaScript in CRM then I would suggest you to go with this blog which talks about JS basics.

community.dynamics.com/.../javascript-basics

Once you are familiar with The JS basics, you could write more advance JS including WEB API.

Could you please share your requirement also? It is possible that you may not need web api and the simple JS can work?

Hope this helps.

RE: How to write simple Javascript Web api

Hi Ishan,

You can download the CRM Rest Builder (Web Api Builder) from Jason Lattimer. It will provide you an easy to use interface to create Web Api queries in your application as well the source code (JavaScript) for how to use that:

community.dynamics.com/.../crm-rest-builder-v2-5-0-0

If you are on Dynamics CRM v9, you can still use the Web Api mentioned above or you can use the new Xrm.WebApi classes by Microsoft. There is no tool (such as Rest Builder) that will provide you that functionality yet, but the logic is very straight forward. You can take a look at the following blog articles on how to create Web Api calls with v9:

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

There are links to part 2 and 3 from this blog article.

Hope this helps.
