How does REST API work in SharePoint?
To use the REST capabilities that are built into SharePoint, you construct a RESTful HTTP request by using the OData standard, which corresponds to the client object model API you want to use. The client. svc web service handles the HTTP request and serves the appropriate response in either Atom or JSON format.
You can perform basic create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations by using the Representational State Transfer (REST) interface provided by SharePoint. The REST interface exposes all the SharePoint entities and operations that are available in the other SharePoint client APIs.
How is the REST API used in SharePoint?
We have explained in a previous article how to work with SharePoint list items, basically performing CRUD operations, using the combination of REST API and jQuery Ajax. The REST URI ends with any OData query operators to specify selecting, sorting, or filtering.
This topic assumes that you’re already familiar with the topics Get to know the SharePoint REST service and Complete basic operations using SharePoint REST endpoints. It doesn’t provide code snippets. The following example shows how to retrieve a specific list if you know its GUID.
How to populate fields on SharePoint list from another list?
I want to populate several fields on my sharepoint list from another list. For example: This used to be really simple in InfoPath, but I can’t seem to work out the correct formula in PowerApps and you good people are my last hope.. Please can someone help me work out what formula I should be using to get this data on here.
The SharePoint REST service, which follows the OData standard, uses Header ETags of SharePoint lists and list items. To check on an item’s version when you perform a PUT, MERGE, or DELETE request, specify an ETag in the If-Match HTTP request header.
