D365 F&O/Commerce interfacing via Azure API Management: My Best Practices

I am seeing more and more customers and partners who actively promote the use of Azure API Management for D365 F&O backend and/or D365 Commerce Scale Unit ODATA interfacing. See for example, this blog post by Adrià Ariste Santacreu. However, there’s still a significant number of customers and partners who shrug their shoulders while thinking: “Why would we use it when we can interface ‘directly’?”. In this blog post I’ll address this question by sharing my best personal best practices in using Azure API Management for D365 F&O backend and/or D365 Commerce Scale Unit ODATA interfacing. But before sharing the best practices, we first have to explode the myth that interfacing via Azure API Management (APIM) would not be DIRECT.. 😉.

Practical Guide on how to use any of the 400 APIs

D365 Retail APIs Part III: How to use the Retail APIs from Power Automate (Flow) and Logic App

After walking through the overall D365 Retail API Architecture in part I and II of this series on the D365 Retail APIs, it’s now time to enable anyone to actually use the Retail APIs. To allow this, this blog post will contain all details on how to construct a request to most of the 400 out-of-box D365 Retail APIs – Beyond that, I’ve included a step-by-step instruction on how to use any of the Retail APIs from Microsoft Power Automate (Flow).

But before we can really get things rolling, we first need to apply some additional D365 setup and we need to choose the right security pattern. So that’s where I’ll start this blog post.

Note: to effectively consume the content of this blog post, please ensure to familiarise with the content of Part I and Part II.
