Endpoints for the APIs for Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premises and Online

Note

Azure Active Directory is now Microsoft Entra ID. Learn more

Business Central on-premises and online expose an API that makes it possible to integrate with other services. To enable integration with these APIs, you must go through a few steps to enable the access first. For more information about these steps, see Enabling APIs for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Accessing the endpoints

Once you have the API access enabled, you can write code that integrates your web service or SaaS solution with Business Central. Creating your integration through an API provides simple access to the supported functionality in a single endpoint, giving you a simplified experience for creating a single app with integrations across multiple Microsoft products.

Important

With the introduction of multiple Business Central > environments, the name of the environment being connected to needs to go into the URI. To learn how to get a list of environments deployed on the tenant, see Getting a list of environments.
