RE: 401 "API ERROR" message over the weekend
For anyone who reads this here's an update:
I have set up an API integration with Dynamics and i'm just realizing i've been making calls to:
yourorganization.crm.dynamics.com
but I've been having strange outages (401 auth issues). I read a response in a different forum post where the user was experiencing similar 401 auth issues.
The response in that forum post talked about playing with the URL, and how it might help to send the request to a different version of the API or playing with capitalization which i found strange.
One response said to navigate to SETTINGS >> CUSTOMIZATIONS>>DEV RESOURCES to find your Service Root URL.....
When i did i noticed it was actually:
yourorganization.api.crm.dynamics.com
Is there a real difference between the two? YES. I tested adding in the {.api} that i was missing initially and all 401 issues disappeared. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but hey it worked! Either way i now know where to grab the wep API service rool URL.
