What permissions do I need?

To be able to create and mange OData feedsOData feeds in the Data Search area and mange them in the Authentication tokens tab of the Administration → Credentials area, you need to have the Manage version of the OData permission (know more about permissions here).

Having the View version will only let you see the list of existing ones in the Authentication tokens tab of the Administration → Credentials area.

Set up an OData feed

Rw ui steps macro
Rw step

Go to Data Search and run query whose data you want to share via OData.

Rw step

Click the gear icon in the table toolbar, then select Current query → Generate OData feed url.

Rw step

The Create ODataV2 URL window opens.

The following table describes the fields in this window:

Feed friendly name 

Enter a name for the data feed.

Authentication type 

Choose one of the following authentication options:

  • No authentication - If you choose this mode, anyone with access to the feed might execute the query. For security reasons, we do not recommend this mode.

  • Domain authentication - This is the default, recommended option. It automatically uses the OData API credentials from your account preferences. You can check and edit them in the Preferences → Domain Preferences area. Go to the Domain preferences for more information.

  • Standard authentication - This allows you to create a user and password that will only be used for this feed.

Tags

Add tags to the feed to easily identify it in the Api/OData tab of the Data Management area.

Rw step

Click Create. The feed URL is generated and you can copy it to your clipboard.

...

All the feeds that have been created in your domain are listed in the API & OData Feeds Authentication tokens tab of the Administration → Credentials → Tokens area. Check the Authentication tokens article for more information.
