                    |                                  |                        |
            service root URL                     resource path            query options
  • Service Root URL - this is the address of the API + /domain/odata/
  • Resource Path - The requested entity
  • Query Options - optional query options

NOTES:

  1. The address of the API is usually and by default:

https://<<Instance_Name>>.my.erp.net/api/

However, this is not certain. Each site in ERP.net can have its own address, which is configurable. For example, this is also valid address:

https://erpapi.example.com/

  1. The ERP.net API Resource Path supports only specifying a single entity. REST style sub-entities are not supported. However, the API allows many other ways to expand into sub-entities.

  2. Query Options Allow the user to specify optional Query Options.
