Custom API provides a code-first approach for developers to create custom APIs in Microsoft Dataverse.
Feature details
Microsoft Dataverse has had the Custom Process Actions feature for many years. Custom Process Actions provide a no-code way to create a new API that can be called from Dataverse web services. Custom API is a new code-first approach that extends the concept of Custom Process Actions, where developers can provide custom API capabilities accessible from calls to the web services. For more information, go to Create and use Custom APIs.
