Verified steps

  1. Construct a FetchXML document with aggregate='true' on the fetch element, attribute elements with aggregate functions (sum, count, max) and alias attributes, and a 'groupby' attribute on the grouping field
  2. Add a link-entity element to join to a related table (e.g. linking opportunity to account) with link-type='inner' and a condition element on the linked entity's attribute
  3. URL-encode the FetchXML string and append it as the fetchXml query parameter to a GET request: /api/data/vX.X/opportunities?fetchXml={encodedXML}
  4. Set the Prefer: odata.include-annotations='OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue' header to receive formatted values alongside raw values in the response
  5. Parse the '@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.fetchxmlpagingcookie' annotation from the response to retrieve additional pages using paging cookies
