Business Central Admin Center API - Environments
Environments are the instances of the application that have been set up for the tenant. An instance can be of either a production type or a sandbox type. The environment APIs can be used to:
- Get information about the environments currently set up for the tenant
- Get information about the used storage and allowed quotas
- Create a new environment using sample data or as a sandbox copy of the production environment
- Delete an environment.
Note
Special care should be taken when deleting a production environment as the data will not be recoverable
Get environments and Get environments by application family
Returns a list of all the environments for the tenant.
GET /admin/v2.21/applications/environments
Returns a list of the environments for the specified application family.
GET /admin/v2.21/applications/{applicationFamily}/environments
Route Parameters
applicationFamily - Family of the environment's application as is. (for example, "BusinessCentral)
Response
Returns a wrapped array of environments.

Create new environment
Creates a new environment with sample data.
Content-Type: application/json
PUT /admin/v2.21/applications/{applicationFamily}/environments/{environmentName}
Route Parameters
applicationFamily - Family to create the new environment within (for example, "BusinessCentral")
environmentName - The name of the new environment. See the section below about valid environment names to see what values are allowed.
Note
The Create, Copy, and Delete operations are asynchronous.
With API v2.8 and earlier, the response objects are returned before the underlying operation has completed. The final results of the operation are reflected in the status field of the environment that the operations affect. In practice this means that polling of the Get Environmentsendpoints must be done to determine if the given operation was successful.
With API v2.9 and later, consumers should rely on the status field of the corresponding EnvironmentOperation response to monitor the status of the underlying operation. So, to get the updated status of the operation, consumers should poll the Get environment operations for all environments endpoint rather than Get Environments and inspect the status of the relevant operation.
