How to Use Examples in Documentation

The new API call differs by the addition of the /api/ parameter in the request:

https://{installation_address}/rest/api/{user_id}/{webhook_token}/humanresources.node.list

curl -X POST \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "Accept: application/json" \
        -d '{"type":"DEPARTMENT","select":["id","name","type","structureId","parentId","description","accessCode","userCount","colorName","xmlId","createdAt","updatedAt"],"pagination":{"page":1,"limit":20,"offset":0}}' \
        https://**put_your_bitrix24_address**/rest/api/**put_your_user_id_here**/**put_your_webhook_here**/humanresources.node.list
        
curl -X POST \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "Accept: application/json" \
        -d '{"type":"DEPARTMENT","select":["id","name","type","structureId","parentId","description","accessCode","userCount","colorName","xmlId","createdAt","updatedAt"],"pagination":{"page":1,"limit":20,"offset":0},"auth":"**put_access_token_here**"}' \
        https://**put_your_bitrix24_address**/rest/api/humanresources.node.list
        

The SDK does not yet support calls to the address /rest/api/. Use direct HTTP requests, for example, via curl or fetch.
