Adding list items with SharePoint 2013 REST API
You can get the name as follows:
GET https://<site>/apps/reserve/_api/lists/getbytitle('Resources')?$select=ListItemEntityTypeFullName
The list name will be under: content -> m:properties -> d:ListItemEntityTypeFullName

I'm trying to add a new item in a existing list using SharePoint 2013 with the REST API.
There is pretty good documentation for this here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj164022(office.15).aspx#ListItems
The list I am trying to add items to is called "Resources", so I do the following http POST operation to add the new item:
POST https://<site>/apps/reserve/_api/lists/getbytitle('Resources')/items X-RequestDigest: <digest_key> Content-Type: application/json;odata=verbose { "__metadata": {"type": "SP.Data.ResourcesListItem"}, "Title": "New Title", "Description": "New Description", "Location": "Sunnyvale" }
But I get back the following error:
A type named 'SP.Data.ResourcesListItem' could not be resolved by the model. When a model is available, each type name must resolve to a valid type.
So I presume I don't have the correct name for the name for the resource. In the documentation, it says:
To do this operation, you must know the ListItemEntityTypeFullName property of the list and pass that as the value of type in the HTTP request body.
But I don't know how to get the ListItemEntityTypeFullName for my list, and the documentation does not seem explain how-- I copied the pattern from the doc (SP.Data.< LIST_NAME >ListItem") but I guess that is not right.
How can I find the name for my list?
