Hello,
We are trying to automate tu update of some information from our operational back end to Business Central.
We have about 10k moving assets that are continuously rented and occasionally in maintenance. The management of the clients, the rentals and network connectivity of the assets, all happen outside of Business Central through a dedicated backend. But we still have those assets in BC as that's where the maintenance happen, on top of financial reasons.
We're looking to write a script that periodically checks the backend to update the assets in Business Central. Script would run a few times a day, we're not looking to replicate the backend and have real time information about everything.
Anyway, we're struggling to get the Python script to be authenticated on Business Central to be able to call the necessary APIs. The workaround found was to simulate a real user on a browser, but that has a lot of pitfalls and I'm sure there is a more straighforward way that we're missing. I know Power Automate could be an option where you call a flow but before investing time in exploring that, I would love to understand all options available to meet our need.
Is there documentation or any help I can find on how to implement this ?
Thank you.
