Rest API

[krishnagopal_sn]

When we access the Rest API explorer, how is the API name populated? What is the source of this information? I'm asking because it's present in my development instance but missing in the test instance.

Hello @krishnagopal_sn ,

This is an OOTB functionality from nowPlatform, you should be able to see it in each environment. Please check if in test you have the proper roles granted (web_service_admin, rest_api_explorer, or admin). The application menu 'REST' requires rest_api_explorer to access.

I let you some useful links related to this:

Hi @krishnagopal_sn ,

The API Name is based on "Namespace", so whatever you select in Namespace according to that API name gets auto populated.
