How to use/create RestAPI?
Documentation (http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_6.5/Application_Framework/Web_Services/REST/index.html) was not helpful, can any body guide me to do it?

Do I have to write code for below points? Or it’s already there?
I need an API URL for following:

  1. SuiteCRM URL that looks for and finds a matching contact.
  2. SuiteCRM URL that opens the matching contact record in a browser.
  3. SuiteCRM URL to create a new contact.
  4. If SuiteCRM supports journaling what’s the URL.

You can try buying Jim Mackin’s “SuiteCRM for Developers” eBook.

Or go from here:

… I think it applies as SuiteCRM is still using REST API version 4.1, the endpoint is

example.com/suitecrm/service/v4_1/rest.php

Apparently the old APIs still around as well.

That’s on purpose, to avoid breaking compatibility with old apps integrating with SuiteCRM.
