Accessing Dynamics 365 Business Central API

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by vicente.oliveira 25

Hi all, I'm currently working on an integration with Dynamics 365 Business Central using a no-code/low-code product and we will use simple HTTP requests to interact with the API. For now the operations we need to perform are simple: get Dynamics entities + update Dynamic entities.

Regarding this integration one initial question, I'm aware that we can access Dynamics data by using its 'native' Web API or the MS Graph API. What is the recomended approach to use at this point in time?

Besides the initial question, can someone please point me in the direction of documentation (as detailed as possible, newbie to Dynamics ...) that describes what to configure both on Dynamics 365 and on the associated Azure App (Delegated x Application permissions, the specific needed permissions)? We aim to use an OAuth client_credentials flow (M2M) if possible/supported.

Thanks in advance

Vicente

    Hi, we are in a similar situation and found this site to be very helpful for the API

    API(V2.0) for Dynamics 365 Business Central - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

    and this one for Oauth, but we haven't gotten that far into it yet.

    Hi again , the resources you've shared are interesting indeed even if they didn't help much on my specific scenario. After a lot more searching and filtering I finally found (on youtube, link below) some detailed guidance on how to use OAuth M2M authentication to access MS Dynamics API.

    Hope it helps someone who's struggling in the same situation I was.
