Web API Query Data Sample (Client-side JavaScript)

This sample demonstrates how to perform basic query requests using the Microsoft Dataverse Web API using client-side JavaScript.

Note

This sample implements the operations detailed in the Web API Query Data Sample and uses the common client-side JavaScript constructs described in Web API Samples (Client-side JavaScript)

Prerequisites

To run this sample, the following is required:

  • Access to Dataverse environment.
  • A user account with privileges to import solutions and perform CRUD operations, typically a system administrator or system customizer security role.

Run this sample

To run this sample, download the solution package from here. Extract the contents of the sample and locate the WebAPIQueryData_1_0_0_0_managed.zip managed solution file. Import the managed solution into your Dataverse organization and run the sample. For instructions on how to import the sample solution, see Web API Samples (Client-side JavaScript).

Code sample

This sample includes two web resources:

WebAPIQuery.html

The WebAPIQuery.html web resource provides the context in which the JavaScript code will run.
