Compare data export inventory to the Power Platform inventory API

The Power Platform inventory API provides current inventory data through the PowerPlatformResources table in Azure Resource Graph. The API includes core resource, ownership, environment, and connector information, but its schema differs from the data export inventory schema.

This article describes:

  • Inventory data available through the Power Platform inventory API.
  • Data export inventory properties that aren't available.
  • Properties that have partial or different coverage.

For information about querying inventory, see Power Platform inventory API. For the complete API schema, see Power Platform inventory schema reference.

Note

Microsoft is retiring the preview version of data export. Inventory data exports stop after December 1, 2026. Usage and environment data exports continue through existing and new configurations and data you already exported remains in your data lake. Expect another notification from Microsoft when inventory data exports stop.

To prepare, use the Power Platform inventory API to export inventory data programmatically. Before you migrate, review the field mappings and known gaps. Some data export inventory fields aren't available through the API or have different coverage.

The Power Platform inventory API doesn't automatically export data to customer-owned storage. To create a recurring export, use an Azure service, such as Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps, or Azure Automation, to query the Power Platform inventory API on a schedule and write the results to Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Lake Storage, or another supported destination.

The trigger fields are empty when a flow uses a trigger that isn't connector-based, such as a recurrence or manual trigger.

Connector usage

Connector usage is available for supported apps, flows, and agents.

Data category Available information Power Platform inventory API field
Connectors used Identifiers of connectors used by the resource properties.powerPlatformConnectors[].connectorId
Operations used Identifiers of operations invoked on a connector properties.powerPlatformConnectors[].operations[].operationId
Flow trigger Connector that initiates a supported flow properties.trigger
Flow trigger operation Connector operation that initiates a supported flow properties.triggerOperation

Connector and operation usage fields are currently in preview.

Connector catalog information

You can also find connectors as individual inventory resources.

Data category Available information Power Platform inventory API field
Connector ID Connector identifier properties.connectorId
Description Connector description properties.description
Publisher Connector publisher properties.publisher
Tier Standard or Premium classification properties.tier
Release stage Release designation, such as Production or Preview properties.releaseTag
Deprecation state Whether the connector is deprecated properties.isDeprecated
Operations Operations exposed by the connector properties.operations
Operation ID Unique operation identifier properties.operations[].operationId
Operation name Operation display name properties.operations[].displayName
Operation description Description of the operation properties.operations[].description
HTTP method HTTP method used by the operation properties.operations[].method

Environment information

You can find the following information on environment inventory records.

Data category Available information Power Platform inventory API field

Environment name Environment display name properties.displayName
Location Geographic location of the environment location
Environment type Production, Default, Sandbox, Trial, Developer, or Dataverse for Teams properties.environmentType
Managed status Whether the environment is a managed environment properties.isManaged
Environment group Name of the assigned environment group properties.environmentGroup
Environment group ID Identifier of the assigned environment group properties.environmentGroupId
Last modification Date and time when the environment was last modified properties.lastModifiedAt

Data not available

The following data export inventory properties don't have direct equivalents in the published Power Platform inventory API schema.

Data category Data export inventory information not available in the Power Platform inventory API
App description Description of a canvas or model-driven app
Application links App URI, document URI, icon URI, and SharePoint form URL
Sharing Number of users and groups with whom an app is shared
Deletion state Explicit deleted-resource indicator
Enablement history Date when an app was last enabled and the principal who enabled it
Solution and ALM information Solution association and ALM mode
DLP evaluation Evaluation status, evaluation date, violation message, and violations by policy
App configuration Settings, creation type, client device type, embedding host, custom extensions, and performance-optimization setting
App presentation Background image, background color, hero-app designation, featured-app designation, and app-plan classification
Consent and licensing Bypass-consent setting and app-pass eligibility
Document version Document version associated with the app
On-premises gateway usage Explicit indicator that an app uses an on-premises data gateway
Dataverse table usage Explicit indicator that an app uses Dataverse tables
PCF external-service usage Explicit indicator that a Power Apps component framework control uses an external service

Important

properties.isQuarantined indicates whether an app is quarantined. It isn't an equivalent of the data export deletion indicator.

Data available with different coverage

Some Power Platform inventory API fields provide related information but aren't direct equivalents of the data export properties.

Data category Data export inventory Power Platform inventory API coverage
Resource type Separate type and subType values A standardized resource identifier in type. Some resource types also provide properties.subType
Status and lifecycle Resource status and lifecycle state Quarantine state is available for supported app types, but it doesn't represent all status or lifecycle values
Owner Owner value and owner object ID properties.ownerId provides an object ID when available. An owner display name isn't included
Custom API usage Explicit custom API indicator Connector identifiers are available for supported resources, but an equivalent custom API indicator isn't available
Premium connector usage Explicit premium API indicator Connector tier is available on connector inventory records, but an equivalent resource-level indicator isn't available
Workflow actions Workflow actions and connector-related indicators Structured connector and operation identifiers are available for supported resource types
Environment information Environment identifier on the resource and separate environment export data The resource includes properties.environmentId. Environment details are available through environment inventory records

Identifier mapping

Resource identifiers aren't represented identically in data export and the Power Platform inventory API.

Model-driven apps

Use the following mapping for model-driven apps:

Data export inventory field Power Platform inventory API field
environmentId properties.environmentId
resourceId properties.appModuleId
name properties.displayName
type and subType type

The Power Platform inventory API top-level name field is the unique inventory resource identifier. It isn't equivalent to the data export resourceId for model-driven apps.

To correlate a model-driven app between the two schemas, use both properties.environmentId and properties.appModuleId.

Connector inventory limitations

Connector inventory has the following documented limitations:

  • Tabular connectors can appear with an empty operations array.
  • Built-in Power Automate actions, including HTTP, Control, and Data operations, aren't represented as connectors.
  • Code apps, vibe apps, managed apps, and App Builder apps don't emit connector-usage data.
  • Model-driven apps rarely report connectors directly.
  • Connector usage by an embedded canvas page is associated with the canvas page record instead of the containing model-driven app.
  • Per-resource connector data includes connector and operation identifiers but doesn't include connector display names, publisher information, or tier.
  • Connector display names, publisher information, and tier are available on connector inventory records.
  • Connector presence doesn't indicate whether an on-premises gateway is used.
