Dynamics 365 Connector - No Org Svc?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Since the May 2017 release we are no longer able to connect to the Org Service, only WebAPI?

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on this official article, to connect to Dynamics 365 in Power BI Desktop, go to Settings > Customizations > Developer Resources and find your OData endpoint URL under Instance Web API, then enter the URL in Dynamics 365 connector. No Org Service URL is mentioned in the article.

I'm aware of that article.

I wanna know why we can't connect to it anymore...

@Anonymous,

The Instance Web API can be used to access all the data and metadata for your organization in Dynamics 365, thus it makes sense to enter this URL in Power BI Desktop to get data from Dynamics 365.

I would recommend you contact Dynamics support about difference between Org Service URL and Instance Web API, and what is the purpose of Org Service URL.

Regards,
