Get Proper Business Central API Endpoint Schema ( Browser GUI Logic App Power Automate Connector )

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by eliotcole 35
Essentially, if you keep an eye out for it in the browser toolbox, you can see that (by using the connection setup for the connector) the GUI retrieves the details of an API endpoint programmatically, allowing it to present the choices for you in the connector.
 
I am mostly concerned with the custom API endpoints, which can be created to be used in the connector. 
 
So, here's an example of what that looks like in the browser request ... the URL is without the spaces, I just do not want the link, there:
Url https:// management .azure .com/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_NAME/resourceGroups/RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections/dynamicssmbsaas/dynamicInvoke?api-version=2018-07-01-preview
Method POST
Body see below JSON
 
I'd like to know how we can perform this action via HTTP calls in Logic Apps and/or Power Automate, if possible, but ... either way, would like to get to it officially.
I have the same question (0)

    OK, I've finally found a holy grail, the swagger schema for BC.
     
    Will update when I have more, but obviously I don't want to open up too much on here.

    Hi,

     

    To retrieve the schema of a Business Central API endpoint programmatically—especially for custom APIs—via Logic Apps or Power Automate, you can use the HTTP action in either platform to invoke the endpoint directly. However, the key is to ensure that the connector is properly authenticated and that the endpoint URL is correctly formatted.

     

    Here are a few suggestions:

     

    1. Use the HTTP Action: In Logic Apps or Power Automate, configure an HTTP action with:

       

      • Method: GET or POST depending on the endpoint.

      • URI: The full API endpoint, including the correct version and parameters.

      • Headers: Include authorization headers (Bearer token) and Content-Type: application/json.

    2. Authentication: Make sure your Azure connection setup includes OAuth2 authentication with the necessary permissions to access Business Central APIs.


    3. Metadata Retrieval: For custom APIs, metadata might not be exposed in the same way as standard APIs. You may need to manually document the schema or use tools like Postman to inspect the response structure.


    4. Use the Business Central Admin Center: You can verify published custom APIs and their endpoints via the Admin Center or by querying the $metadata endpoint:



      5.  
      
       https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/{tenant}/sandbox/api/{publisher}/{group}/{version}/$metadata
     

    1. Consider Azure API Management: If you're managing multiple custom endpoints, wrapping them in Azure API Management can help standardize access and documentation.


      2.  
     

    Please verify if this helps clarify your approach.

     

    Thanks and best regards,

    Daniele
