Thank you! Outside my comfort zone and learning something I might not initially seek out is huge. It’s just another tool, I’d love to learn more, man ♥️

I am with you, I was so scared of them when I first started. Now I am teaching them. They are very handy to understand.

More Vids! Using Graph API :)

This is an idea I can get onboard with. 😎

Shane, you have been my North Star ever since I started learning PowerApps (several months), and APIs and JSON have always scared me, but having you explain these things in such a casual and effortless manner is absolutely invaluable and barrier-breaking, quite honestly... Please never stop doing this - you are literally changing people's lives! Thank you a billion times! Edit: fixed typos :)

Happy to help. You keep learning and I will keep trying to help. Have a great day. 🐶

I first found your chanel while I was traning to be a Microsoft support engineer, and you was breaking down PowerShell like it was nothing. I spent so much time trying to read up on tutorials but one 30 mins video later I can teach other people in my company. APIs is something I only know the name of. It always scare the crap outta me because there too many things that look like code involved. I never really intend to learn it, but I saw a video from you, I was like huh hey this is the dude that teach me PowerShell, let try and see. 1 minutes in I'm breaking out the note book to write everything down because I has been misunderstanding this thing this whole time. Thank you very much Shane.

Appreciate the note Dustin. It means a lot to me.

Hi Shane, As per usual your great delivery and understanding the level to pitch things at! takes away the mysteries surrounding certain functions within the Power Platform. I have lost count of how many times your video's have 'dug me out the hole'. Thank you for what you do :) PS yes more on APIs please :)

Thanks Shane! I’m gonna watch this as a refresher. Always good to go back to the basics on this stuff.

Cool. Let me know what you think. I feel like sometime the basics are the hardest part. 😎

More API vids! Maybe custom connectors to multiple SaaS in one canvas app (Ex: Salesforce data in a dashboard with a button to open financial records located in SAP). Goal would be to use PowerApps as a central interface to streamline processes. Love the vids every week! Huge impact on my skills and career!

Love using the Graph api. I’ve entirely automated our account setup, maintenance and deletion with it. Saves us so much time internally.

Nice job. Love hearing that.

Shane this couldn't be timelier... I am in the process of trying to figure out how to connect to Azure Resource Manager where the prebuilt connector can do what we need it to. This information is so valuable and well explained. To answer your question, yes... please provide more videos like this. 🤩

Is there anything you can do using an api to connect to share point or dataverse that you can’t do with the built in connectors?

@ShanesCows

For SharePoint about a million things. :) Create site, create list, and get group members are 3 things that come to mind. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4qD1qiQc5m3aKg.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIaixMdqc8m3Y5M.html I am sure Dataverse has similar but I don't know them off the top of my head.

What would be the better approach (or perhaps it's dependent on the circumstances?), if I'm doing a POST (expecting a response with values in the response body). Is it best to parse that reponse with Power Automate and return those values to PowerApps as Power Automate's Output (response action back to PowerApps), or is it best to return the entire API response (i.e. response body/JSON) back to PowerApps and have PowerApps collect that into a Collection?

@ShanesCows

4 ай бұрын

I think it is whichever is easier for you. I don't think it matters where you do the parsing. For me I think Power Automate is easier so I would do it there. But it is a personal preference, not a technical requirement.

More detail in this topic please!

Wonderful video Shane. I have an APi to update primery user in intune and i having problems updating using Patch methods..any subjecting? A video?

@ShanesCows

3 ай бұрын

If you know the API but are just struggling with syntax I would ask Copilot or ChatGPT. Usually with Patch they have more complicated headers, might be something to look for.

Great content as always! It would be great if you could share with us something similar that loops through arrays and integrates with PowerApps using `Respond to a PowerApp or flow` action. There isn't that much content out there on this topic.

Great video! Would be great to show error handling when receiving json responses in powerapps. I've been running into issues trying to reference data that is nested to the 4/5th child level of a complex json. 'untyped' error is a nightmare

@@ShanesCows I've watched that video quite a few times actually. It has helped with a variety of topics. However, I'm going to send you an email (lawlort32) to give more context. I'm trying to see what is the most efficient/recommended way to be able to access nested objects within my complex json for the purpose of editing the details and sending back to API. Also to be able to displayed that nested object in a visual control with the JSON( 'nestedObject', JSONFormat.IndentFour). It would be great if I could get direction, I think it would be a great use case for a video as well as I haven't seen a video explain these details yet.

Thanks shane, if possible could you include content related to PL-400 like this API related. Many thanks, greetings from Colombia.
