Power BI connector for Business Central On-Prem - API pages/queries?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hi,
 
I'm trying to integrate our new Business Central On-prem (BC 22 release wave 2) with Power BI. First just trying locally (skipping parts about Azure AD app registration, giving consent etc) using Power BI Desktop, I can successfully get data from the BC service (e.g. using the url https://internalhost:port/instancename/api/v2.0/), but only the old /legacy/ OData web services that are exposed.
 
Is it not possible to query the built-in APIs (v2.0), or custom apis, based in API pages/queries, when running BC on-prem? My research indicates that the connector only supports API pages/queries for BC Online, although haven't been able to find that much information about it. If that's the case, why this limitation, and any suggested workarounds?

Edit: Seems like I can retrieve all data from API v2.0 using a regular OData connector in Power BI Desktop (or Excel). What's difference/benefit of using the Power BI Connector for BC instead of OData Connector?
I have the same question (0)
