Hi Folks,

Does anyone know the differences between the SharePoint 2010 and 2013 REST APIs. 

I am making a call on SP2013 using the below format to get documents out of a document library.

When I try and use the above to call SP2010 it fails, so I am wondering what the correct call ought to be?

(Note: Once I have a handle to a file in the doc library I then need to copy it as a SPFile object).

Regards

Andy

Hi,

Try using the following API on SharePoint 2010

http://<site url>/web/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ListTitle

for further reference on API in SharePoint 2010, refer the link below

Hi,

You will need to use _vti_bin/listdata.svc service in case of 2010 version.In case you want to have uniform REST based solution to access both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 sites  it wont be possible.  check the following link for differences http://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/2013/10/09/using-the-updated-sharepoint-2013-rest-api-versus-the-sharepoint-2010-model-aspx/

try this link:

http://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/2013/10/09/using-the-updated-sharepoint-2013-rest-api-versus-the-sharepoint-2010-model-aspx/

you need to use https://servername/web/_api/lists for 2013 and _vti_bin/listdata.svc for 2010.
