Is there any documentation on Tridion's OData service? I have a link to the Tridion documentation (here) but I don't see anything for the OData service.
If you're interested in the installation procedure then you can find it here for Java or here for .NET. For more details about what you can do with this OData WebService you can take a look here.
Note that you need to login for all three links (login information is in your initial link).
Hope this helps.

Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords is available on CRM form.
Is there any way to query web api from the javascript on webpages?
Unfortunately we cannot use Xrm.WebApi in portals and they are native to CRM forms.
Recently web api is introduced for portals and you can use it for CUD operations from portal. MS documentation and this blog post can help you to understand and setup the pre-requisites like enabling settings, permissions, verbose.

In LUIS, we have text/synonym recommendation in the entity/phrase list generation. Do anyone have idea on the api that is used for the synonym recommendation. We wanted to integrate the cognitive service api to get the synonym of the input text in one of the client application but we could not get any relevant Microsoft service to attain this.
[I am unable to provide sample code because of the nature of the question]
Luis Text Analytics
TextAnaytics API
Thanks
Unfortunately, we don't have any API for synonym recommendation yet. You can request this as feature here.
I am new to this API Blueprint tool. Can anyone explain me how to use this tool for capturing all my Restful web services API using API Blueprint like this (https://clever.com/developers/docs/explorer#endpoint_districts_districts)?
Any Help
I am afraid we do not really offer a tool to generate an APIBlueprint starting from real API calls.
The main reason behind this choice is, as said, we believe that documentation and API definition is the first step to design great APIs, and not the last one.
I hope this clarifies the point of view.
I have built a few WebAPIs since it was born, including one supporting OData URL filters when that was new. I see now that OData over WebAPI has matured, I see it can serve service metadata.
Is it complete enough for Excel or other OData client tooling to plug and play as if it were a full WCF Data Service (ye olde Astoria)?
That's it. Thanks
OData V1-3 services can be consumed by the Data tab and Power Pivot data source import of Excel. While Excel's support for importing data from OData V4 services will rely on Power Query. That support is planned targeting early next year according to this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2169958f-9e2a-4fc2-a844-c0dce4c17a19/support-of-odata-v40?forum=powerquery
It is. In the past you had to do the right configuration or do a workaround to populate the OData feed from Web API correctly, to be able to consume it from Excel. Suprotim Agarwal wrote an excellent blog post about all the steps necessary to consume the feed from Excel, including creating and configuring the endpoint and what the steps in Excel are.
Here's my situation, I'm trying to create a WPF application that connects to my own web odata service (uses web api and entity framework). I have my own set of domain models/entities in the server side that the web api and entity framework works with. When, I add the web odata service reference in the WPF client side, it can't recognize my own domain models/entities and it looks like it creates its own set of it. Is what I'm trying to do even possible or am I just missing something?

Drive-by answer (unchecked): I remember reading that it wasn't possible at least a few weeks back. You might want to search the Uservoice site and the official forums for current status, or wait for a better answer here.
It looks like this problem is currently a feature suggestion for WCF Data Services (thanks to tne's uservoice link). The direct link to the request is https://data.uservoice.com/forums/72027-wcf-data-services-feature-suggestions/suggestions/3220086-allow-re-using-entities-from-another-dll-on-the-cl.
