Error List 'listName01' does not exist at site with URL https://xxxxx.sharepoint.com'. in Postman

Question

I have been trying to use Postman to see list items using Postman and I am getting following error:

List 'listName01' does not exist at site with URL https://xxxxx.sharepoint.com'

When I log in SharePoint in browser, I can see list and I can add items to the list. There re no spaces in list name. However, when hit below URL, I am still getting same issue.

https://xxxxxx.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listName01')

I am not sure what am I missing here?

Is there any permission I need to provide to my list?

Answer 1

In SharePoint REST API lists/GetByTitle() endpoint, you have to pass the Display name of list & not the name in list URL.

Example:

In below image, you can see the display name of list is "Logo Universe" while URL is like https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/SPConnect/Lists/ImageList/AllItems.aspx.

So, in REST endpoint you will use display name of list like:

https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/SPConnect/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('Logo Universe')/items

---

Also, make sure you are using correct site URL in REST endpoint where list is created.

Additional:

Another way to get list items is using GUID of SharePoint list like:

https://{site_url}/_api/web/lists(guid'{list_guid}')/items

Example:

https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/SPConnect/_api/Web/Lists(guid'b778bbec-dd69-4a6c-9437-c73972c36292')/items

You can get GUID of list from list settings page URL.
