API Documentation - Dynamics Edge

Constructing API Request URLs

DynamicsEdge API request URLs are composed of the following components:

Term Definition
protocol https only
data-type Only json is supported as a data-type.
hostname Our API services are available on our www.dynamicsedge.com domain.
API Methods See below for documentation on section and courses methods.
request parameters Key/Value pairs of request data, as defined in the courses documentation.
