Lack of documentation for the API

Hello,

We make integration with APIs all the time, but we never thought integration with Business Central will be give us so many problems.

Maybe we don't have the right source of information and you can help us.

For example we have to synchronize the dimensions and dimensions values with our Software.

Unfortunately we download the list of dimensions values and we cannot see that this value is configured as a total in Business Central.

But when I look at the documentation :

Get dimensionValues - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

There is nothing more about it.

It seems that is API is only a marketing thing - just to say we have one api - but it is unfinished. Is there any other way to get this data ?

With other software it takes us a fraction of the time to implement it and it runs 10x faster than the API in business central. I don't know why the server are that slow... (in production).

Have a nice day !

Steve

If what you are looking or is an API that provides you with a list of all the configured dimensions and all their dimension values, then the best option is to create a custom API for that.

The OTB dimension API from Microsoft is designed or doing lookup at specific dimension sets.
