Version 2.0

Major Rerelease (2024-02-08)

Allows users to easily generate Custom Business Central API endpoints, both read and write

Read Endpoints

• All v1 functionality, of course
• Allows per-request filtering to focus on the data needed
• Supports complex FlowField scenarios (such as Item Inventory by location and variant)
• Easily supports pagination to tune for performance
• Set additional per-field settings (such as Time Zones for DateTimes)

Write Endpoints

• Execute all the usual data changes, such as insert, modify and delete. Additional option of an “upsert” for when you just need the data written
• Choose between error handling modes, per-record or batch, to control what happens if an error occurs in data submission
• Detailed control settings on fields, such as
  • Include as read-only (in the response)
  • Default/required values
  • Mandatory value checking
• Granular control over which types of writing are allowed, such as
  • Insert
  • Modify
  • Delete

Auditing and Diagnostics

• Event Logging controls per endpoint
• Detailed Event Logs include the raw JSONs of data, both in and out, for faster troubleshooting
• Detailed error messages are sent in responses, providing clearer resolution
• Telemetry can be enabled and tuned per endpoint, allowing easier monitoring focused on the information you need, including the contents of the call

Integration Helpers

• Generate a Postman collection for all your end points to easily send to developers working against end points
• Generate the PowerBI Query necessary to consume and present data directly from Data Braider end points
• Generate a Power Automate scoped set of steps to make end point consumption as simple as pasting

Extensibility Baked-In

• Extensible Enums for data formatting
• Eventing with rich data access at key points
