Hi Team,

As the Access Key authentication is going to be deprecated, I wanted to know is OAuth Authentication applicable for accessing the Custom APIs?

Thanks

    Deprecated Features in W1 - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

    Basic Auth / Web Service Access Keys for SaaS

    The following feature will be Removed with Business Central 2021 release wave 1.

    Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
    Removed (for SaaS) The capability to access web services in Business Central using Basic Auth will be deprecated for SaaS. OAuth2 will be the only authentication option for SaaS. OAuth flows that are currently supported are Implicit and Auth Token. Efforts are being made for Business Central 2020 release wave 2, to support OAuth flows, that will support Service to Service auth flows. For on-premises, Basic Auth will remain an option for the time being. This change has no impact on how Business Central connects to external services.

    Hi Duilio,

    I am not very clear on the answer that you shared. Can you please help me understand it more clearly?

    My requirement is - I have some custom APIs created in my BusinessCentral Instance. Will I be able to authenticate those APIs using OAuth or Basic OAuth.

    Thanks
