OData Feed URLs

OdataLink will expose your data files data using OData compliant URLs.

There are three types of URLs:

• Service URL
• Meta Data Url
• Data URL

OdataLink's URLs ensures that each account will have different URLs so as to protect your organisation's data.

It also ensures that each model will have different URLs so as to control how they can be used.
