Rest API calls with PowerApps

Posted on by Maxwell454

I am playing around with Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Flow. I am trying to figure out how to make API calls from PowerApps and return the results(Status and Body) to a field such as a text box in my app.
I can make the HTTP requests through Flow and put them in a static file such as an excel spreadsheet...etc. I can also make the calls from a PowerApps control such as a button but all I know how to do with it is return it to something like an excel file, when really I want to return it to a Text Box or Text Area.

Right now i'm working on US project- so far i had got a lot of self doubt issues.Am i par with industy standards or below ? I need to check my self with one,who is working in real-time.

So that i took a decision to join Advanced Microsoft Powerapps Training.I think it helps me to check(where actually i'am) or learn more.

Hi @Maxwell454 :

Usually we need to create a Custom connector if we need to call API and get the return value.

This is a case where I get the timestamp by calling the API and display it in the label control:

Display Internet Based Time

I think this link will help you a lot:

Custom connectors for canvas apps

In addition,flow can also be used, but if you want to return data to PowerApps, you also need to use the Response action.I think this link will help you a lot:

Return an Array from Flow to PowerApps (Response Method)

Bof

To make API calls from PowerApps, you need to create a connection to the API first.

Thank you
