Business Central Local Docker Container - Testing APIs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 622
Hi, 
I created a Business Central Docker Container using the steps from this link
Get Started Developing for BC: Docker Containers – BC Development Notebook

I'm trying to test a simple API, but with no luck.  

Configurations: 
1. Soap Services: Enabled; 
2.ODataServices: Enabled
3.API Services Enabled
4. Server Instance Authentication : UserPassword
5. License: Developer
6. User Permissions: 
 
What I have tried: 
1. I tried exposing the Page on the "Web Service" page and using the old school Web Service Key on the User Card. I'm able to Gain Access but the OData does not return any data. It times out. (There is only 10 Records on my Customer list)
2. I tried replacing the DNS with the Service Instance IP Address. No luck either. 
3. I tried "http://bc26/BC/ODataV4/$metadata" Postman Accepts my credentials but no data is returned.
 
If anyone knows of a good step by step guide to setup APIs for local Business Central Dockers that would really help. 

Thanks
