I need to know if our current licenses provide access to APIs and if there is also a daily limit on API calls. I don’t see anything about this in the premium license features, I believe it’s a Power Platform license… but not certain. What would be the steps and what should I search to find these?
Hi @GreenSquare,
Do you mean to access the BC SaaS API?
You can connect to BC API with no additional licences, and you can see the incoming request limits in this link: Current API Limits in Dynamics 365 Business Central - Business Central | Microsoft Learn
You don’t need any Power Platform licenses to connect to BC API.
Hi PJ,
Unless I’m mistaken this document doesn’t supply any steps on how to connect to see my limits and it seems more of a general information page. I was trying to access the information directly from my instance. Correct me if I’m wrong…
Hi @GreenSquare,
Unless you’re talking about an OnPremise database, where you can view and change API limits via the config file, these are the limits for the BC SaaS API… you won’t find this information in your tenant, and as far as I know, you can’t see if you’re close to exceeding any limits.
Hi @pjllaneras,
Understood. Thank you for the response.
The limits on API are per user. So, if you split up the API calls on multiple users you can get around the limitations. You can see the number of calls made in Telemetry.
