Business Central APIs: Understanding API Versions and Evolution.

Hi Readers,

In continuation to the API Series today we will discuss about Business central API Version and Evolution.

Business Central APIs evolution focuses on versions from beta to 2.0. I will try to explain the historical context, access methods, and key differences between versions. The importance of upgrading from outdated versions is emphasized, along with the limitations of API extensibility and authentication methods for on-premises and SaaS environments.

  • Transitioning from older versions of Microsoft Business Central to version 2.0 is essential for improved stability and functionality. The newer version includes significant changes that enhance user experience and system performance.
  • The video outlines the differences between API versions 1.0 and 2.0, highlighting new pages and semantic changes. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these updates for better API usage.
  • Successfully installing the API app is crucial for accessing various versions of the API endpoints. Proper configuration and service settings ensure the app functions as intended in your environment.
  • Understanding the limitations of Microsoft API pages and their non-extensibility is crucial for effective integration. Developers should create separate API pages tailored to their specific needs to avoid issues with updates.
