If it's a console app you might be better off using the SDK.

Hi Aldous,

In order to access WebAPI in C# Console, first, you need to register the application in Azure Active Directory.

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/walkthrough-register-dynamics-365-app-azure-active-directory

You will get a client ID after this process.

Now use the code below to get the Authorisation Token. Once you get the token, you can retrieve the required records as shown below.

static string serviceUri = "yourorg.crmx.dynamics.com/"; static string redirectUrl = "yourorg.api.crmx.dynamics.com/.../"; public static string GetAuthToken() { // TODO Substitute your app registration values that can be obtained after you // register the app in Active Directory on the Microsoft Azure portal. string clientId = "3oi467rf-2336-4039-b82i-7c5b859c7be0"; // Client ID after app registration string userName = "xyz@youOrg.onmicrosoft.com"; string password = "Password"; UserCredential cred = new UserCredential(userName, password); // Authenticate the registered application with Azure Active Directory. AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext("login.windows.net/common", false); AuthenticationResult result = authContext.AcquireToken(serviceUri, clientId, cred); return result.AccessToken; } public static void RetrieveAccounts(string authToken) { HttpClient httpClient = null; httpClient = new HttpClient(); //Default Request Headers needed to be added in the HttpClient Object httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0"); httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-Version", "4.0"); httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json")); //Set the Authorization header with the Access Token received specifying the Credentials httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", authToken); httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(redirectUrl); var response = httpClient.GetAsync("accounts?$select=name").Result; if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var accounts = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result; } }

Hope this helps.
