Business Central API Integration
An integration architecture for connecting Business Central with external applications using REST APIs, authentication, HTTP communication, JSON and webhook-driven workflows.
The challenge
External systems need secure, predictable ways to exchange ERP data. The integration must handle authentication, payload validation, errors, throttling and changing data without creating fragile dependencies.
Solution approach
External Application ↔ REST API / Webhook ↔ Business Central
OAuth 2.0 • HttpClient • JSON • Retry/error handling
The approach separates authentication, data mapping, transport and business logic so individual parts can be tested and maintained independently.
Key implementation areas
- Standard and custom API concepts
- OAuth 2.0 authentication
- HttpClient request and response handling
- JSON parsing and serialization
- Webhooks and event-driven synchronization
- HTTP error and throttling handling
Technology stack
Outcome
The project provides a reusable integration blueprint for building secure and maintainable Business Central connections with modern web applications and external services.
