How to integrate with Dynamics CRM using C#

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Completely new to Dynamics CRM integration and my extremely limited knowledge of OData is only weeks old.

I need to push and pull data from Dynamics CRM Online for use in our local systems.

The integrator we are using has configured Dynamics CRM to call one of our REST end point every time an entity is created, updated or deleted.

This informs us of the entity type and entity id along with a timestamp for the record.

I was lend to believe there are Nuget packages for interacting with Dynamics CRM. but today I came across:

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/jasonlattimersblog/posts/crm-web-api-using-c 
Because the Web API is built on open standards, we don’t provide assemblies for a specific developer experience. You can compose HTTP requests for specific operations or use third-party libraries to generate classes for whatever language or platform you want. You can find a list of libraries that support OData version 4.0 at https://www.odata.org/libraries/.

Can someone please point me to a tutorial on how to consume Dynamics CRM apis using C#.

All the tutorials and examples I find have require me to create and parse http request, I need a lib to do all the for me as the deadline are extremely tight.

Thanks

    In this case, I would suggest to use power automate to consume the data in CRM online, power automate in the backend is calling crm api but for users you don't need to worry about the oauth and writing code to operate the data

    Hello,

    If you're from .Net world then you can use XrmTooling to connect/do any operations you need - docs.microsoft.com/.../use-connection-strings-xrm-tooling-connect
