CustomAPI tables

The data that defines custom APIs is in the following tables/entities:

The sections in this article provide detailed information about the column values you use most.

This diagram shows how the tables are related to these tables and others:

The relationship to the CatalogAssignment table enables using custom API with Microsoft Dataverse business events. More information: Catalog and CatalogAssignment tables.

Retrieve data about custom APIs

You can use the following queries to retrieve data about custom APIs.

CustomAPIRequestParameter Table Columns

A custom API isn't required to have any parameters. There's no specified order for the parameters. They're identified by name.

A parameter is related to a single custom API. You can't define multiple custom APIs to use the same parameter definition. You can define multiple request parameters with the same UniqueName value if they're used by different custom APIs.

Note

If you define a bound table for your custom API, the request parameter will be generated for you. You don't need to create an input parameter for the table when the custom API is bound to a table. More information: Select a Binding Type

The following table includes columns (attributes) of the custom API Request Parameter table that you can set.

CustomAPIResponseProperty Table Columns

The object returned for your custom API message includes any response properties you define. It isn't required for a custom API Action to return any value, but it must return a value if defined as a Function.

If there's only a single Entity or EntityCollection response property defined, the response is of that type. If there are multiple parameters, or one or more parameters of a simple type, the API returns a complex type where each response property is a property of that complex type.

For example, if your custom API Unique name is sample_CustomAPIExample, it returns a complex type named sample_CustomAPIExampleResponse with properties for each response property you define.

The following table includes columns (attributes) of the custom API Response Property table that you can set.
