Business value
The Microsoft Power Platform API will provide customers with a single unified API for all admin management scenarios across environments, tenant settings, capacity, licensing, and resources.
Feature details
Today, customers have a myriad of programmability options from PowerShell to Management Connectors to REST APIs. The REST APIs are disparate across different endpoints depending on the resource in question, and they provide a challenging experience. This delays documentation and reduces parity between PowerShell and the APIs.
Unification of the various APIs into a single Microsoft Power Platform API will be done in phases. First, we'll start by enabling tenant settings, capacity, and licensing APIs on a single endpoint. Then, we'll enable environment management capabilities like environment creation, adding Microsoft Dataverse to an existing environment, backup, copy, restore, and so forth. Next, we'll start to enable the endpoints for various resources that an environment can contain like Power Apps, Power Automate flows, Power Virtual Agents, and more.
Most notably, this will have no impact to the Dataverse APIs which remain separate. This Microsoft Power Platform API will be a unified API surface for all other admin management actions.
