Create a custom API with code

  • Artigo

Note

This is an advanced topic that assumes you have already read and understood these topics:

You should also understand how to create Microsoft Dataverse records, using either the Web API or SDK for .NET. For more information see:

Because custom API data is saved in tables, you can programmatically create new APIs using either the Web API or the SDK for .NET.

The tables in Custom API tables describe all the properties you can set using code.

This code uses the CrmServiceClient with a early-bound programming style. You can also use ServiceClient. More information:

This example shows the creation of a custom API action with one request parameter and one response property in a single operation. More information: Create related entities in one operation

This custom api is created as part of a solution with the uniquename CustomAPIExample and is associated with a plug-in type with id = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001.
