In Dynamics 365, we can use the Web API to retrieve a record. We can do this by using the Id of the record, or another identifier such as the name.
Let’s use Accounts as an example.
To get a record using the Id, the format is:
https://yourorg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/accounts(Id)
Note there are no quotes around the Id.
For example:
https://yourorg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/accounts(D494B650-73FF-E611-8104-E0071B669E61)
Returns:
To get by name (accounts has a name field), we would use filter:
https://yourorg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/accounts?$filter=name eq ‘the name‘
E.g.
Returns:
