Research direction

Start with the client.entity_sets.APIs.get_entities().execute() entry point and trace the URL it generates for the SAP OData service. Compare the generated path with the collection href APIContent.APIs; done means determining whether the href is respected or documenting the correct supported call.

Description

bug

Hello,

I am trying to access the entity set “APIs” of https://api.sap.com/odata/1.0/catalog.svc/

If I execute https://api.sap.com/odata/1.0/catalog.svc/ in the browser I get

APIs

However if I execute

client.entity_sets.APIs.get_entities().execute()

in python while tracing the url’s I see:

https://api.sap.com:443 "GET /odata/1.0/catalog.svc/APIs HTTP/1.1" 200 None

this naturally does not work as the URL path should be https://api.sap.com/odata/1.0/catalog.svc/APIContent.APIs/ (which does work in the browser).

Am I using the API wrong? What should I be executing instead of client.entity_sets.APIs.get_entities().execute() ?

Best regards,
Rene.
