Developing API Pages in Business Central Cloud & On-Prem Versions

[@KalugampitiyaJayakody]

very good video for Business Central cloud and VS code

[@davidbaldwin3140]

These are some of the clearest, simplest, and most helpful How-To Business Central tutorials I have found on the web. Thank you very much. Hard to go wrong when you are this careful and this thorough about explaining these things. One thing the world DESPERATELY needs: an extension of this video to demonstrate how to add (POST) a header and multiple lines in the same http post. Please. I have subscribed and will start coming here first when I need to know how to do something!

[@shone1001]

Very Informative!

[@sandipdjadhav]

Much appreciated for detail video on API. Can you please explain how can I add Filter in it e.g. From Date To Date or Filter by Customer ID? Is it going to be Parameter in Postman?

Good video. Cristal clear A question. As far as I know, BasicAuth is deprecated for SaaS, and replaced by Oauth2. How is it that t works for you in your SaaS environment? Thnx

[@GoDigit]

Yes oauth2 is now the future and basic is deprecated. These are just authentication method. Basic takes only 2 (username and password) where as oauth2 some more parameters

[@JohnJoe131]

web services keys have been removed now, can you tell how to do that with OAuth?

[@BandaruSrinivasulu]

Can we get a video on CRUD operations using odata apis, which is helpful to most of the developers.

[@GoDigit]

Yes, its in Plan. We will make video of it in near future. Thanks 🙏

[@ankitsikarwar5337]

@@GoDigit sir please do it fast i need urgently.

[@sokvantha]

I tried to find on-prem for development purpose, but can't find it, can you share me guideline to download the on-prem BC developer edition?

[@SpyFr]

Hello ! Nice video 👏 We have deployed BC 18 OnPrem with Windows authentication (local AD). Is there any way to create APIs in this configuration ?

[@SpyFr]

Solution deployed : Create a dedicated service for web services. No need of IIS web site. Service connected to the same DB Dedicated BC user with db authentication. Buy and setup certificate in the server hosting the BC service. For security reason it must not be the same server used for SQL DB. Copy paste the thumbprint of the certificate in the BC service. Turn on API and SSL in OData tab. Setup an URL like ws.mydomain.com and redirect through the proxy to your lan address and port. All that remains is to cross your fingers 😉

[@jennyjeon6056]

Good video. Can you explain me what is difference between odata and API? My customer wants Rest API but I think Odata and API are same meaning

[@GoDigit]

Yes it's kind of same only to avoid confusion. There are 2 protocols -soap and rest(i.e odata)

[@dividuttnamboodiri3283]

please can you share link in cloud version?

[@sandipdjadhav]

Second question: How will publish the custom API?

[@dividuttnamboodiri3283]
