Connecting to Azure REST API - custom connector really necessary?

Posted on by PeteM3

Good evening,

in my Power Apps App I want to connect to the Azure REST API. When checking out the list of connectors for Power Apps, I do not see any fitting connector. Do I really need to setup a custom connector to use one of the most important APIs Microsoft has in Power Apps?

That does not make sense I think - surely I have overlooked something. Or not?

Thanks for your input!

Pete

@PeteM3

You might be interested on starting by creating everything except the Canvas App (i.e. the REST API and the Custom Connector), and then to Automatically create a Power App Canvas App from a REST API to use as a starting point.

See if it helps @PeteM3

Thank you @poweractivate that IS really interesting. But in my case not quite want I am looking for - the Azure API is huge so I am only trying to find out how to best connect to it.

Most things I googled were done with HTTP with Azure AD connector. Not ideal but unless there is something better, most propably the way forward.

Thanks
Pete
