Acumatica Web Service Endpoint API

Question

I am trying to use Postman to get data from the Acumatica Contact endpoint. I am doing this because I want to create a put and want to see the formatting of what is needed for the Contact Endpoint.

I have logged in successfully using the PUT method and I am using the GET method on this URL: http://localhost/entity/Default/17.200.001/Contact

However I am receiving this error when I push send:

    "exceptionMessage": "Optimization cannot be performed.The following fields cause the error:\r\nAddressValidated: View AddressCurrent has BQL delegate\r\n",

}

Has anyone else got this/know how to get past it?

Answer 1

If your goal is to see the structure of the data, issue a GET to entity/Default/17.200.001/Contact/{contactId}, this way you'll be returned only one entity, which is both faster and does not require optimization.
