Get a grip on your Business Central data
Discover our no-code API configurator to expose all your data with ease
If you work with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you know how valuable the data is - and how challenging it can be to make that data available in a flexible and secure way for reporting, integrations, or external applications. Standard APIs are often limited, custom development is costly and error-prone, and direct access to the underlying data simply isn’t available in the cloud.
Fortunately, there’s an alternative that puts you back in control: our API Studio. With API Studio, you gain a scalable, secure, and maintainable way to make your Business Central data accessible - exactly the way you need it..
API Studio is the ultimate integration accelerator for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This powerful and flexible app allows you to configure, validate, and publish your own APIs -without writing a single line of code- for any Business Central table you choose.
Perfect for partners and power users, API Studio eliminates the dependency on fixed endpoints or recurring custom development. Thanks to its intuitive interface, guided setup, and extensive logging and monitoring features, you can easily create API connections that grow alongside your integration needs.
Why is accessing data from Business Central so challenging?
Whether on-premises or in the cloud, Business Central comes with limitations when it comes to external data access:
- In the cloud, you’re fully dependent on the APIs provided by Microsoft or your implementation partner
- Standard tables may still be accessible, but fields from partner extensions or custom developments often remain out of reach
- New data requirements? That means going back to your IT partner - resulting in delays and additional costs
For modern, data-driven organizations, this simply isn’t sustainable.
The solution: API Studio - build your own APIs
With API Studio - an extension developed by EQ Group and available on Microsoft AppSource - you regain control as a user. It enables you to:
- Configure your own APIs without relying on your IT partner
- Access data from both standard Business Central and partner extensions
- Precisely define which fields and tables are exposed externally
- Configure once and continue using it automatically
In other words: you decide which data can be shared - and how. Ideal for organizations that want to be data-driven and gain more control over their data integrations.
