Enabling the APIs for Dynamics 365 Business Central

Posted on by 5

I signed up for a trial of Dynamics 365 Business Central directly through Microsoft (i.e. not on premise, my URL is company-domain-name.crm11.dynamics.com) so I can see what the API is like to work with.

The instructions to enable the API's for Dynamics 365 Business Central (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/api-reference/v1.0/enabling-apis-for-dynamics-nav) lead me to install the Business Central Server Administration Tool (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/administration-tool), though I can't seem to get this without downloading on-premise (and this requires a PartnerSource account).

Is there another way to enable the API's on Dynamics 365 Business Central?

    I cannot get to the screen in . When I search for users I get:

    I cannot see any reference to a sandbox environment.

    If it helps, I signed up with https://trials.dynamics.com/ selected Dynamics 365 Business Central

    Thanks

    In SaaS environment, APIs are enabled by default. Just call the correct url.
