Hi Fellow Share Pointers,

SharePoint 2013 introduces a new set of API’s – REST APIs to access SharePoint data in a faster and cleaner way. SharePoint REST API’s provide you the client side compatibility to work with SharePoint List and Library objects. With the help of SharePoint REST APIs we can work with the following SharePoint Objects.

The below are list of SharePoint REST API Access Points

1.Site
http://server/site/_api/site

2.Web
http://server/site/_api/web

3.User Profile
http:// server/site/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager

4.Search
http:// server/site/_api/search

5.Publishing
http:// server/site/_api/publishing

In this article, I will provide you with a piece of code which displays SharePoint Custom List using REST API’s and Jquery. The entire code is placed in the Content Editor Web Part. Content Editor Web Part is used to add client side scripting.

$(document).ready(function(){

/
$.ajax({

url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + “/_api/web/lists/getbytitle(‘MyEmployeeList‘)/items”,

type: “GET”,

headers: {“accept”: “application/json;odata=verbose”},

success: function (data) {

if (data.d.results) {

var object = data.d.results;

for(var i = 0; i < object.length; i++)

{

$(“#showlistitems”).append(“

“);

}

}

},

error: function (xhr,text_status) {

alert(xhr.status + ‘: ‘ + xhr.statusText);

}

});
