Setting Up Your First API Set

Once you have set up your Suite Engine account and API Engine subscription, you are ready to start building API calls to external entities.

Once your Suite Engine account and API Engine subscription are active, you're ready to build API calls. Because API Engine is a general-purpose framework, this article covers core setup rather than every possible scenario.

Create an API Set

API calls are organized into API functions, grouped under API sets. There is typically one set per platform, channel, or external system.

  • In Business Central, search for API Sets and select the related link
    • Create a new line with a unique code and description
    • Optionally enter API Platform, API Version, and API Documentation URL (informational only)

 

Enter API Credentials

  • Select your API set and choose API Credentials
    • Create a new credential card and enter a description
    • Choose an authorization type:
      • Basic Authentication, Bearer Token, API Key, OAuth 2.0, AWS Signature, or none
    • Enter the API Endpoint URL (the base URL for every function in this set)
    • Complete the FastTab fields required for your chosen authorization type
