I have used it to connect to CRM 2013 and CRM 2016 Online instances (CRM 2016 just started working and the content pack available in the Service now works with CRM 2016 Online instance.) Is CRM 8 an older instance of CRM? Sorry, not that familiar with CRM versions.

I have found my CRM Version: Microsoft Dynamics® CRM Online 2016 Update
(8.1.0.362) (DB 8.1.0.362) 

@AKhan - This is the format of the URL I was able to use successfully with my CRM Online 2016 tenant OData feed:

 

https://tenant.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc

 

This was from Power BI Desktop.

@AKhan@Greg_Deckler This post may be relevant. Looks like CRM8 may be the extension for CRM online in India.
