REST API web services

RESTful web services are typically created to interchange data between Business Central and external systems. The acronym REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer. Any coding language capable of calling REST APIs can be used to use this feature. The Business Central API stack is optimized for performance and is the preferred way to integrate with Business Central.

Business Central comes with an extensive list of built-in APIs that requires no code and minimal setup to use. When using the built-in APIs, please choose the highest API version available. You can also develop your own custom APIs using the AL object types API pages and API queries.
