Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a custom entity and have given permission through portal manager. Now I want to retrieve record from that custom entity using web api like following:

webapi.safeAjax({

type: "GET",

url: "/_api/custom_configurations",

contentType: "application/json",

success: function (res, status, xhr) {

console.log(res);

}

});

but I'm getting 406 status code as response.

I need to access records from my angular app. How to do it in portal environment?

Hi

currently the Web API only supports Create/Update/Delete methods, please see more info from the documentation: Use the Web API for portals - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

the reason for that is because we have other methods for retrieving data:

via JS - oData: Dynamics Portals – Entity List – Integration using OData feed | Rajeev Pentyala - Microsoft power platform blog

via Liquid - FetchXML tag for retrieve multiple equivalent: Use template tags for a portal - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

via Liquid - Entities object for retrieve simple: Use Liquid objects for a portal - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

what you can also do is creating your own retrieve API using custom Web Templates + FetchXML, take a look at this post that might help you:

Hi, is your angular app inside Power Apps Portals? not sure how you are linking your app, can you give more details?

if your app still has access to Portal objects/pages or web templates, I would recommend using the Entities liquid object mentioned earlier.
