SharePoint .NET Server, CSOM, JSOM, and REST API index
Important
The SharePoint Add-In model in SharePoint Online has been deprecated as of November 27th 2023, checkout the full retirement announcement to learn more.
Deprecation means that the feature will not get any new investments, but it's still supported. SharePoint add-in model is retired fully on April 2nd, 2026 and is no longer available after that time. Primary replacement technology for the SharePoint add-in model is SharePoint Framework (SPFx) which continues to be supported also in future.
Use the API index to look up many of the most frequently used types and objects that are implemented in the .NET server object model and at least one client programming model: .NET client-side object model (CSOM), JavaScript object model (JSOM), and/or REST.
This table lists the most frequently used core APIs, which are in most cases based on types from the .NET server implementation. In some cases, types are native to SharePoint client programming, and there is no equivalent .NET server type. In other cases, some but not all possible client programming model implementations of a specific type exist.
Note
Before using a REST endpoint URI shown in the table, replace the … abbreviation with the path to your SharePoint site; for example http://<site collection>/<site>/_api/web/lists.
