Has anybody used any of the Dynamics 365 integration endpoints listed here: docs.microsoft.com/.../endpoints-apis-for-dynamics

It appears the only one that works is the one that's not rated for production use. Has anybody else used any of these to successfully integrate an external app with Dynamics 365? I'm looking for some guidance on how to proceed with integration. What is the best method to integrate an external app with Dynamics 365?

Great guide. Remeber that the url in the resource needs to contain the protocol (https). This blog engines rewrites the URL. Also, another resource should be used going forward:

?resource=https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com

Hi I did the steps as mkhalife Posts, i got these results from postman " {Tenant }.onmicrosoft.com not found. This may happen if there are no active subscriptions for the tenant. Check with your subscription administrator."

Thank you! The project madiera tip was what I needed. I had to specifically search for "Project" for it to show up. In any case, it's working now. I really appreciate the assistance.

I put together some brief instructions in case anyone else needs them:

Login to the Azure Portal >> Azure Active Directory >> App Registrations

Click “New application registration” and enter the following information

Name: pick any name

Application type: Web app / API

Sign-on URL: this can be anything. I chose http://localhost

Click on the app you just created and then select Settings >> Required Permissions

Click Add >> Select an API >> and look for the Dynamics 365 option. If it doesn’t show up, manually search for “Project” and Project Madeira will show up. This is apparently required for older AAD tenants.

Select Project Madiera and then select the available “delegated permission”

Click “Done” and the permissions will be added

Under Settings, navigate to Keys and create a new Key that doesn’t expire. Copy this value as you will not see it again.

You should now have your Application ID and your secret (the Key from the last step). These will be used for authentication from your application (or Postman).

The parameters you’ll need to authenticate via OAuth 2.0 are as follows:

Grant Type: Authorization Code

Callback URL: the URL you chose in step 2c

Auth URL: https://login.windows.net/{yourtenant}.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authorize?resource=api.financials.dynamics.com

Access Token URL: https://login.windows.net/{yourtenant}.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/token?resource=api.financials.dynamics.com

Client ID: your Application ID from step 8

Client Secret:your Key from step 8

Now you should be ready to request a token, which should bring up a login prompt and require you to grant permissions to the AAD app

Now you can make a successful request using the provided token to https://api.financials.dynamics.com/v1.0/api/beta/

The API is the same regardless if using the api.financials.dynamic.com endpoint, or going directly to the tenant.

The difference is the authentication being used, where the common endpoint allows automatically delegation to the provided AAD users tenant, and thus also avoid having to specify any tenant specific endpoint url.

How old is your AAD tenant? I believe that the names for other AppIds gets locked at the time of AAD tenant creation, so we might appear as, e.g., Project Madeira, which was the preview name of the service.

A shortcut is to copy our AppId directly into the AAD manifests reqiuredResourceAccess list

"requiredResourceAccess": [

{

"resourceAppId": "996def3d-b36c-4153-8607-a6fd3c01b89f",

"resourceAccess": [

{

"id": "bce0976a-cb0b-473b-8800-84eda9f8e447",

"type": "Scope"

}

]

}

I am in the same boat. I have tried been trying to just hit api.financials.dynamics.com/.../companies with no luck at all.

I have used every configuration I can think of...

bearer token,

basic authentication oauth,

registered an app in azure,

registered a native app in azure,

used the web access key as a password

Every response I receive is 401 {"message":"Unauthorized"}

The product we are using is online, not on-premise.

Would love some sample code of a request to api.financials.dynamics.com/.../beta

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply. I should have clarified that we are intending to integrate with Business Edition.

We have gotten the direct tenant endpoint to work but are worried that we should not be using this given its usage is "Rapid development and testing only". What should we be using when we're done with development and testing? Will the resource identifiers be the same if we switch endpoints?

I've tried to authenticate using OAuth to the common endpoint service but i'm not sure how to make it work. When I register my app in AAD there isn't an API option for this API, only the Dynamics AX API's.

Currently we support both the common endpoint with AAD and going directly to the tenant with basic authentication as outlined in the link. Microsoft Graph is not yet supported.

Can you provide more information about the specifics not working?

Thanks,

/Peter
