Working on a project where we are creating a new Site Collection for a department. We are new to SharePoint. During our testing we created a Site Collection called Test. I came to realize that the Test Site Collection was a Sub-Site under our main tenancy. tenancy.sharepoint.com/Test
I did all my research testing both the REST API and the Search REST API against this Test site.
Example:
tenancy.sharepoint.com/Test/_api/Web/Lists/getbytitle('Publications')/Items?$filter=startswith(Title,'Sail')&$select=Title
This would successfully return the results. This test site, in the Admin Center, is listed as a Site Collection with the address of tenancy.sharepoint.com/sites/Test
After having tested various REST calls, I then went and created a New Site Collection for the project we're to be working on. This is an actual Site Collection that isn't a Sub-Site of our main site. The Admin Center lists this Site Collection with the address of tenancy.sharepoint.com/sites/department name It has a Document App Library module installed with the same name of Publications.
I added a document to the site, but when I execute the same REST API call it just doesn't respond. It doesn't time out, it just gives a white page.
tenancy.sharepoint.com/department name/_api/Web/Lists/getbytitle('Publications')/Items?$filter=startswith(Title,'Sail')&$select=Title
I tried to use the SharePoint Search Query Tool, which uses the Search REST API. https://sp2013searchtool.codeplex.com/
In the connection area, I enter a SharePoint Site URL of tenancy.sharepoint.com/Test
I'm able to successfully login. I'm able to conduct searches.
If I enter: tenancy.sharepoint.com/department name It says that the login is successful. When I conduct a search the Connection section title turns red, and I get a 404 Not Found error.
If I enter tenancy.sharepoint.com/sites/department name I'm able to conduct searches, but the results are pulling documents from the tenancy.sharepoint.com/sites/Test Site Collection, and nothing from the department's Site Collection is returned.
What am I missing?
PS: I have a lot of example urls above, and the site only allowed me to have a single link within the question. So I removed all the https from the URLs.
