Microsoft Dynamics APIs
Microsoft Dynamics APIs are a set of web services and RESTful interfaces that allow developers to programmatically interact with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and earlier Dynamics CRM/ERP systems. They enable integration, automation, and extension of Dynamics applications by providing access to data, business logic, and platform capabilities. These APIs support operations like creating, reading, updating, and deleting records, as well as executing custom workflows and processes.
Developers should learn Microsoft Dynamics APIs when building integrations between Dynamics 365 and other systems (e.g., ERP, marketing tools, or custom apps), automating business processes, or extending Dynamics functionality with custom code. They are essential for scenarios such as syncing customer data across platforms, implementing custom reporting dashboards, or developing mobile apps that interact with Dynamics data, particularly in enterprise environments using Microsoft's ecosystem.
