Data Connection Hosted Business Central to Teklynx Sentinal, Codesoft, or Labelview

In the old days it was easy to be self sufficient with label printing as you could design your labels in Labelview or Codesoft and get a connection to NAV via ODBC to pull the data you need. How to connect Labelview or Codesoft to Hosted Business Central? If it were possible to export the required data in a certain format to a .csv in a specific directory then sentinal will pick up the information and Labelview/Codesoft will print the label.

Please advise hot to do this?

We've built a PageType = API in Business Central
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-api-pagetype

and LabelView has support for an ODATA connection

Did you get a solution in place for this? We're working on this now and finding some other challenges beyond just Connecting and Pulling data.

Namely, maintaining connectivity when Authentication Type = Token

and

Passing filters in API calls (in the URL) to select only the record requested in LabelView
(i.e. https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/<tenant>/Production/api/<publisher>/<group>/v1.0/companies(<compID>)/<page>?$filter=orderno eq 'O-000073')
