I was running Postman to try out the Trail Business Central API's. I following the instruction (Access Business Central API) and just wanted to display the metadata for my Business Central account.

I used the following endpoint: https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/D365Env/api/v2.0

D365Env is a sandbox I created. I have read many post and have tried adding difference combinations of an APP in Azure but no luck. Keep getting same error. Does anything need to be done in BC that I might have missed.

but get the following error: /Unauthorized The credentials provided are incorrect /

I did get a valid token using my Azure credentials clientID and client_secret.

I also did add API's and API permissions.

Thanks for your help

    Hi, please post on Business central forum for more assistance.
    For the error messages, you need to check the credentials provided,

    Under the Configure New Token section set the fields to the following values:

    • Token Name - give it a name
    • Grant Type - Authorization Code
    • Callback URL - this will default when marking the next checkbox.
    • Authorize using browser checkbox - Mark it 
    • Auth URL - use a URL like:  https://login.windows.net/<your tenant domain>/oauth2/authorize?resource=https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com (Replace <your tenant domain> with the domain name or the tenant ID)
    • Access Token URL - use a URL like: https://login.windows.net/<your tenant domain>/oauth2/token?resource=https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com (Replace <your tenant domain> with the domain name or the tenant ID)
    • Client ID - this is going to be the Application (client) ID that is located on the Overview page of the App Registration in Azure that we created previously.

    Try to use the User ID and the Web Service Access key. This can be found in the Users Card in Business Central
