Create a Custom Web Service via Web Service/API

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello, everyone.

I'm currently developing an extension for MS Business Central, a Connect Apps. To achieve what I want, my application needs to be able to fetch some data I could not find in the default APIs like: Vendor Bank Information, Payment Journals, and a custom code unit.
The problem is that to ship to users that have different tenants, they will have to configure this web services by themselves. I was wondering and then I looked around for a way to create this APIs/Web Services via API/Web Services after the user grant me access via OAuth. The problem is that I could not find anything related to that.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? Or have any suggestion on where to look into.


Thanks,

Fabiano

    You can create these web services directly when installing your extension.

    Please refer to this post (second way described is the better):

    Hello, Stefano.

    Thanks for answering.

    In a case where I'm only using the webservices and I don't have an intention to create an extension, I guess it is not possible, right?

    Best,

    Fabiano

    Sorry but you wrote “I'm currently developing an extension for MS Business Central, a Connect Apps.”.

    Inside your extension’s project you can create a web service definition (as described in my blog post in the link above) and in this way when you install the extension you’re developing the ws will be automatically published.

    Ok, thanks.

    The concepts behind a lot of things in MS Business Central are still not so clear in my mind. Just bought your book to dive a little deeper.

    Thanks for the answers, by the way.
