Get List Created date using SharePoint REST API

This blog shows you how to get the created date of List using SharePoint REST API.

In this blog, I'll show you how to get the created date of SharePoint list using the REST API.

 

REST API Endpoint:

https://sharepointsiteurl/_api/web/getByTitle('ListName')?$select=created

Add-In Code snippet:

The following code snippet can be used in creating SharePoint Add-Ins, 

// Load the cross-domain library JS file
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", execCrossDomainRequest);
});

function execCrossDomainRequest() {
    var executor;

    // Initialize the RequestExecutor with the app web URL.
    executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);

    // To get the title using REST we can hit the endpoint:
    //      app_web_url/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists/getByTitle('ListName')?$select=Created&@target='siteUrl'
    // The response formats the data in the JSON format.

    executor.executeAsync({
        url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists/getByTitle('TestList')?$select=Created&@target='" + hostweburl + "'",
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose"
        },
        success: successHandler,
        error: errorHandler
    });
}

// Function to handle the success event.
// Prints the host web's title to the page.
function successHandler(data) {
    var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
    console.log('List Created Date: ' + jsonObject.d.Created);

}

function errorHandler(data, errorCode, errorMessage) {
    console.log("Could not complete cross-domain call: " + errorMessage;
}
