API test for trial sandbox account

Posted on by famorestorres

Hello,

we have a trial account for BC and want to explore the APIs.

we created a sandbox environment and assign a web access key to the user. However we get:

{

"error": {

"code": "Authentication_InvalidCredentials",

"message": "The server has rejected the client credentials. CorrelationId: d03f5d02-758d-4fd7-8fa8-c319f9e2a63d."

}

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../v1.0

are we missing something? is this available in the sandbox for the trial account?

or maybe we need to do an additional setup. We are not using OAuth so we think no additional steps are needed.

Thanks!

Hello,

How are you consuming the API? For e.g. in Postman, browser etc.?

Your URL seems incorrect. Here is an example of the Customer card API along with the company name:

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../Customer_Card

We get exactly the same result using the customer card

{

"error": {

"code": "Authentication_InvalidCredentials",

"message": "The server has rejected the client credentials. CorrelationId: 3bd0acaf-9beb-4a93-872b-9896f458686a."

}

}

I think the urls are ok, if we change any of the values, we get a different error due to invalid request. My guess is that we are missing something from the BC side

thanks

Maybe generate a new web service key and try again?

What's the username? For e.g ADMIN or someuser@domain.com?

I think the web service key is not copied correctly. Can you check and verify it again please? If you double click on the web service key field on the user card, it may not select the entire key if there is a special character in somewhere for example a / it would only highlight part of the key. Make sure you are copying the entire key. I have seen this happen before.

If necessary, copy the key to a notepad and verify that the entire key is as it appears onton user card. It may seem silly but that web service key field acts strange when highlighting it with a double click of the mouse.

Issue is now solved

1) we copied the web access key from Manage Flows configuration

2) We also checked there that the environment was Production (also for the trial account)

Thanks!
