# Explore the REST API for a table

You can explore the REST API for a table directly from that table. Explore the API using the REST API Explorer to quickly construct and test REST requests for that table.

## Before you begin

Role required: itil, personalize\_dictionary, and rest\_api\_explorer

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to any form or list.

2.  In a form, right-click the form header and select **Configure** > **Table**.

3.  Open the list title menu, select **Configure**, and click **Table**.

4.  Click the **Explore REST API** related link.

    The REST API Explorer opens, displaying the Table API for the selected table. If the table does not allow web service interaction, a warning appears instead.


## What to do next

Use the REST API Explorer to construct and test REST requests for the table.
