OData web services: using filter expressions

Writing on his blog, Roberto Stefanetti took a look at the use and properties of OData (Open Data Protocol) with Business Central, which he noted was indispensable if you use the D365BC cloud environment.

Stefanetti first explained exactly what OData is and noted that it builds on certain web technologies to provide access to information from different applications, services, and stores.

OData uses URLs for resource identification and commits to an HTTP-based, uniform interface for interacting with resources.

He then stated that you can use OData web services to show D365BC data as well as update data in a D365BC database and described how to do it.

Finally, he discussed the known limitations of using OData with D365BC.
