Accessing Dynamics 365 API using Postman

votes

I am trying to make an API request against a Dynamics 365 API account using Postman. I have the following credentials but I do not know what headers to use to authenticate.

I have the following ...

  1. Consumer Key
  2. Consumer Secret
  3. Redirect Uri
  4. Authorize Redirect URL
  5. HTTP Method = POST
  6. Access Token Service Endpoint

What headers do I need to set in Postman to get access to the API?

I have read articles and seen some examples but they all have different data than I do. For example in the screen capture below there is a username and password in addition to a Consumer Key (client_id) and Consumer Secret (client_secret).

enter image description here

I do understand that I need to obtain a Bearer token first before making the API call. It is obtaining this token that is confusing me.

Simply follow this documentation to setup the Postman for Dynamics web API, even the ready-made clientid = 51f81489-12ee-4a9e-aaae-a2591f45987d will work for any CRM online instance for testing purpose. You can use your customer provided clientid as well.

url should be https://crmdev.crm.dynamics.com
authurl should be https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?resource={{url}}

First create an environment in Postman:

Use OAuth 2.0 in Authorization tab, and Get New Access Token.
