Constructing API Request URLs

DynamicsEdge API request URLs are composed of the following components:

TermDefinition
protocolhttps only
data-typeOnly json is supported as a data-type.
hostnameOur API services are available on our www.dynamicsedge.com domain.
API MethodsSee below for documentation on section and courses methods.
request parametersKey/Value pairs of request data, as defined in the courses documentation.
