I have a tenant and I want to access the api below from outside of the CRM:

MyTenantUrl/api/data/v8.2/accounts

is it possible to access the above api from outside of the CRM like from other application?

Thanks in advanced.

No Shahriat you cant access outside CRM,

The reason is authentication,

If it is a .Net application you have Libraries to connect to CRM and perform the desired action

If it is JavaScript then you need to have an intermediate application which is added as an intermediate application

Check out this link below : docs.microsoft.com/.../mt595797(v=crm.8)

You mean I need to create plugin to connect with CRM? Is it possible to access CRM API from Asp.net CORE standalone application?

Just look into that.

docs.microsoft.com/.../sample-simplified-connection-quick-start

You should add the XrmToolingConnector from the nuget package.

Yes you call web api from .net code as well (docs.microsoft.com/.../web-api-query-data-sample-csharp)

So your application is a js application or .net ?

If it is .Net(c#) then you can use .Net library(XrmToolingConnector ) to connect to CRM and the service

If it is a J then you need to have an intermediate application registered in azure for authentication.

You have to register the CRM app in Azure AAD to get ClientID & secret, later those can be used to get access tokens & interact with CRM web api from outside applications like java/php/.net web applications.

If I want to use .Net library(XrmToolingConnector ) to connect to CRM and the service then I don't need to have azure registration?

Yes, you wont need any Azure Registration. It will be a straight .Net code that connects to the CRM instance and make operations. Basicly, you will get a serviceProxy object after you establish a connection to the CRM. Then you can do any operation supported.
