Bryan Soltis<\/a> demonstrates how to call an API in Power Apps Portals using JavaScript.<\/p>\n

As a developer, Power Apps are a very interesting, yet nostalgic, concept.

Naturally, I turned my nose at these types of platforms, demanding that any good developer would ALWAYS create things from scratch. What can I say? I started programming using Notepad.

Power Platform is one of these solutions, enabling complex integrations between business systems with a few clicks. And a lot less smugness. In this article, I\u2019ll show you one way to integrate an API into a Power Platform Portal. With or without Notepad.<\/div>\n

One of the benefits of Power Apps is the ability to extend the platform, if needed. Recently, I needed to integrate an API into a Power App Portal.

This article combines that knowledge for a simple, one-stop solution to anyone facing the same challenge.<\/p>\n
