ReportI came across this 2022 article introducing a Microsoft Power Platform API:
Introducing Microsoft Power Platform API (Preview)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/blog/power-apps/introducing-microsoft-power-platform-api-preview/
However, the associated documentation is still marked as preview, and I'm trying to find a reliable way to create Dataverse backups on demand via an API. While I am aware that backups can be created through the admin portal or by using PowerShell, my goal is to integrate these capabilities into our internal tools using an API.
The current API preview documentation doesn't seem to include options for backup functionality:
Microsoft Power Platform API Documentation
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-platform/
Alternatively, I've found suggestions to use the PowerShell Power Apps admin module for management tasks:
Power Apps PowerShell Admin Module
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/powerapps/get-started-powerapps-admin?view=pa-ps-latest
Although this isn't ideal, I considered inspecting how the PowerShell module performs the backup. It appears to make requests to https://api.bap.microsoft.com/, while the preview API documentation refers to https://api.powerplatform.com/.
My main question is: how safe or advisable is it to reproduce the HTTP requests made by the PowerShell module in my application? Are these APIs likely to be documented or officially supported by Microsoft in the future? Should we expect an eventual management API release that covers these tasks? Or... is there a management an alternative management API that I'm missing?
