@Tuomas Sipola As @creece mentioned is not a good idea to use a beta feature in a Production account so many things can go wrong: • NetSuite can change anything anytime and your application/integration can break. • If your Company is a serious Company with a high volumen of operations or capital and your decision result in loses(money) you may be fired or even liable for those loses once NetSuite support replies back to a case or your CEO saying: that is a BETA feature not intended to be use in Production.(By the way you already agree to this when you install/activate the beta feature and you click AGREE in the BIG screen with the Agreement.)

All true, but isn't the REST API no longer in Beta? Isn't it just that certain records are in Beta?
m
Yes, spot on.
at least according to their latest docs

@Marc Reicher You are right most of the REST web services is now out of beta, and only a few features still on BETA... so you should be fine if you use what is out of BETA and keep away the beta features.

yeah definitely with you on avoiding beta features in prod. But also, be sure to avoid features that have been available for too long, as NetSuite might deprecate them šŸ˜‚

@Marc Reicher There is a delicate line/balance between old - mature - new(flashy), were old in this context is (SS 1.0), mature is SS 2.0, flashy is REST Web Services even after being out of beta for how long? Months? My preference(and experience) tells me that it is wise to wait a little bit longer and see how the new flashy thing behaves before jumping into it.

Thanks for the information. I guess I'll test/research more about the REST API and also check the other integration options (RESTLet / SOAP).

You CAN use it, I'm just saying keep some doc around in case it blows up on you so you CYA. There's like 5 records out of beta according to the REST API browser but even so, its not a mature product in the slightest. Otherwise I can see people getting pretty pissy when it inevitably blows up (and it will). My trust in something working from netsuite is pretty much 0 so i always give it a release or 2 tech wise. Look at SDF for example as its been "released" for a bit but still has tons of issues. With RESTlets though, its so easy to create your own and have 100% control its almost a no brainer unless you just don't have the skillset in which case i'd ask someone to do it for you just so you know its tailored to your specific case.
