I can't thanks you enough Carl, I got bored using Postman connecting to CDS till I have found your video, detailed with descriptive step by step instructions, very useful, thanks a lot for Sharing !

I appreciate you published this video! I'm Japanese, but your English is very clear. So, I was able to listen easily!

Thank you very much Carl! I would like to add that Postman gives you the possibility to convert what you did in code, in any language, by using the "Code" button on the upper right. Thanks again, and I wish you a happy new year!

Hi @Carl. Thanks for that great example of accessing CDS using a user-credential. Could you perhaps do a demo of the same thing but using a Service-Principle?

[kushmw]

You're a star Carl. Great video, much appreciated.

Excellent. Thanks Carl for sharing. Can you guide how do we parse response back? Like choice fields are returning as numbers as an example. Creating records in table would also be challenging I guess like option sets, choice, lookups etc. Would be really good to have next video on showing dymystifying response and creating records from let's say client side jQuery ajax call or something.

Any solutions CRM do not support direct update of Entity Reference properties, Use Navigation properties instead.

Does custom API - require premium licensing or is it a standard feature licensed usage

[rajum]

if we want to call the CDS webapi from any other external application .. what's the process?

[manzarnouman]

hey Carl, I've followed the same process but when i try to hit the api it return 401 with nothing. It would be great if you help me

[pavankumbhar]

Hi Carl - Thanks for the demo. Following your steps worked for me with the postman. However, I'm trying to create an Azure App Service that runs a Web API. This Web API needs to read/write the data to the CDS. I'm unable to make the connection and it is getting a timeout error. I'm using the below example.

Can you please let me know if there are any instructions available to achieve this?

Thanks!

[egssimq]
