Custom Connector for Business Central

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ASTRI 20

Hello

I'm new to Business Central space, facing an issue on custom connector for a table, extension which I've created

It's working as expected in BC

While in custom connector I'm getting 404 

{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest_NotFound",
"message": "Bad Request - Error in query syntax. CorrelationId: a3eba416-893e-40a9-96d6-a0bb72528b6c."
}
}

My inputs are

Host = api.businesscentral.dynamics.com
Base URL = /v2.0/bc3a3a81-9843-4b43-b81f-90c9cf3f06c0/Sandbox/
Authentication type = Base


Creating Actions Get (tried both URL) 
URL=
ODataV4/Company({CompanyID})/ClientInquiry
ODataV4/Company(10a127a4-77ff-eb11-bb73-000d3a2b9e0a)/ClientInquiry 

CompanyID= 10a127a4-77ff-eb11-bb73-000d3a2b9e0a

(Getting CompanyId using - https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/bc3a3a81-9843-4b43-b81f-90c9cf3f06c0/Sandbox/api/v2.0/companies)

Request URL looks like - https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/bc3a3a81-9843-4b43-b81f-90c9cf3f06c0/Sandbox/ODataV4/Company({CompanyID})/ClientInquiry

I can see the service running in Postman, so no issue in schema.

What am I missing here ?

Appreciate any help on this

Thank you

    A custom connector for use in Power Platform I assume? If so you cannot use objects exposed through OData. You must instead create an api page. I did a video on this, which you can find on this page: joshanglesea.wordpress.com/.../

    Thanks for sharing.

    I've checked my end point

    api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../ClientInquiry

    It's working as expected. Returning data.

    Not getting where the issue is.

    Thanks

    Your URL is like below. However, you cannot use OData URL's with a custom connector for Power Platform - highlighted in yellow.

    api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../ODataV4/Company('CRONUS%20IN')/ClientInquiry

    Something like the below is what the custom connector requires - again the yellow showing important parts: 

    api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../{TenantID}/{Instance}/api/JA/customgroup/v1.0/companies({CompanyID})/prodorders

    re-watching the video may help.

    You may find you need to create a custom API page: Developing a custom API - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

    Failing that you can use the standard connector which has all these end points: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/

    From a power app call a power automate flow. In the flow use the http connector to call a codeunit in BC published as a web service which then handles the posting. This blog shares a method of doing this for a different topic: joshanglesea.wordpress.com/.../
