RE: API connection to Dynamics 360

Hi Ivan,

There are a couple of ways you can do this -

1. You can use IOrganizationService interface to connect to dynamics 365 from your C# plugin that sits in Dynamics or from the Console Application.

2. You can even use WebAPI to connect to Dynamics 365

Here a few links that explain this in simple way -

Microsoft Documentation - docs.microsoft.com/.../gg328282(v%3dcrm.8) (This should be the ideal way to explore ways to connect and get helper code as well)

Using Console Application

Thanks a lot for the answer. But the main problem I've been facing is to know the URL and credentials I have to use to connect as the admin for these options is disabled.

Oh, you mean you don't have the credentials and the URL of the environment to connect to?

Maybe you can ask the Admin to provide you since you'll need that.

Also, additionally, you can ask if they have Multi-factor authentication enabled for that user, in that case - You'll need to use App Passwords to use in your application - stackoverflow.com/.../how-to-login-multi-factor-authentication-to-dynamics-365-using-c-sharp (Just wanted to give this out just in case)

If my answer helped you, please mark it as verified.

Thanks.

Hi Ivan,

If you are wondering how to use url to link to Dynamics Web Api , you could refer to this article.

You could connect to WebApi through two ways:

1.C#

2.Clinet side JavaScript

Go to Settings->Customizations->Developer Resources,You will then see links to the Web API and the OData Organization Service.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards

Leo
