Resco has prepared OpenAPI definition files that can be used by Power Automate to create a custom connector for interfacing with Resco Cloud. Both YAML and JSON formats are available. When using an OpenAPI definition to describe a custom connector in Power Automate, the file must be less than 1 MB. Therefore, the API definition only includes selected entities by default. Contact Resco support for more information.
| Tip | The API definition files can be also utilized by other tools and services compatible with the OpenAPI standard, not only Power Automate. |
(Coming soon): You can also generate your own OpenAPI file with entities necessary for your particular use case. In the Admin Console, select TBD from the menu; then select the entities (fields?) that you need.
