    Hi @johnblogss50 

     

    You can use a custom connector to retrieve information from an external api. 

    A custom connector is a wrapper around a REST API (Logic Apps also supports SOAP APIs) that allows Logic Apps, Power Automate, or Power Apps to communicate with that REST or SOAP API. These APIs can be:

    • Public (visible on the public internet) such as Spotify, Slack, Rackspace, or an API you manage.
    • Private (visible only to your network).
