Connecting to Dynamics CRM through Postman

5 Comments

You can connect to Dynamics CRM/Dynamics 365 through the Postman application.

To do so, first create a new application in Azure.

Next, open Postman. I use the Chrome version, accessed in Chrome by: chrome://apps

In Chrome, select OAuth 2.0 as the authentication type:

Click Get New Access Token:

This opens the window below:

Enter the information as follows:

Auth URL: https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize?resource=https://yourcrminstance.crm.dynamics.com

Auth Token URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token

Client Id: Your Id From Azure as described in the link above

Let’s do an example where we will perform a GET operation on accounts.

Enter the URL https://yourinstance.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.1/accounts/

When you have the access token, select “Use Token” with Header selected. This will add the token to the header. Press Send. You will see in the body the JSON returned with a list of accounts:
