# Get Table Metadata

GET https://api.npretail.app/{tenant}/{environment}/{company}/tablemetadata/{tableNo}

Describes the fields that the BI endpoint returns for one table, including the JSON property name of every field. Use it to map the payload of `GET /bi/{tableNo}` onto your own model.

Field tooltips are not included: Business Central does not make them available at runtime.
