Microsoft Power Platform APIs

Collection of APIs for Microsoft Power Platform services including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Copilot Studio, Power Pages, and Dataverse.

agent native

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Microsoft Power Platform APIs the way a machine reads it — 140 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Microsoft Power Platform APIs scores 63.6/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 64/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Microsoft Power Platform APIs

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Microsoft Power Platform APIs. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 9

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Dataverse API (Common Data Service)

OData v4.0 compliant Web API for Microsoft Dataverse, providing RESTful data storage, business logic, and entity management capabilities across the Power Platform.

Microsoft Copilot Studio API (formerly Power Virtual Agents)

API for building, managing, and deploying AI agents and conversational chatbots. Power Virtual Agents has been rebranded to Microsoft Copilot Studio with expanded AI agent capab...

Power Platform Admin API

API for administrative operations across Power Platform environments including environment management, governance, capacity, and licensing via the BAP (Business Application Plat...

Power Platform Connectors API

API for custom and certified connectors that extend Power Platform capabilities across Power Apps, Power Automate, Logic Apps, and Copilot Studio.

Power Pages Web API

Web API for Power Pages (formerly Power Apps Portals) enabling CRUD operations on Microsoft Dataverse tables from portal webpages for richer user experiences.

Microsoft Power Platform APIs Applications API

Operations for managing application packages within Power Platform environments, including listing available packages, installing applications, and checking installation status.

Microsoft Power Platform APIs Environments API

Operations for listing, creating, and managing Power Platform environments. Environments are containers that store apps, flows, data, and other resources.

Microsoft Power Platform APIs Flow Runs API

Operations for monitoring and retrieving Power Automate flow run history within environments.

Microsoft Power Platform APIs Licensing API

Operations for managing billing policies and licensing across the Power Platform tenant.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Agent Skills 24

An agent skill packages the how-to for driving these APIs from an assistant — the prompts, the sequence, the guardrails — so the knowledge to use the API travels with it.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Examples 19

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
