    Hi @aws3rd ,

     

    When I call the sp API, I usually don't add odata=verbose in header.

    Please take a look at this blog.

    Run the same request as your POST except make it a GET, and remove the Items at the end. This will return the EntityTypeName as well as the ListItemEntityTypeFullName. 

    Or you can make the same request and end it with ?$select=ListItemEntityTypeFullName.

    Also if you just change your HTTP Request to a GET it will probably give the name needed in the top of the item's metadata return information.
