It is possible to consume standard MS created API's with PowerApps. It is also possible to create an API page as an extension and publish it to Business Central. I would like to have these custom API's available to use with PowerApps. We have currently customer cases where we need for example enter lines to Job Journals where this would be extremely handy, and would improve customer satisfaction.

I've been looking at the API side of things and you can create custom APIs.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-api-pagetype

However, when creating one that tries to use the Configuration Template (as per the below code):
GraphMgtGeneralTools.ProcessNewRecordFromAPI(RecRef,TempFieldSet,CurrentDateTime);

I get the AL problem of  
The type or method 'ProcessNewRecordFromAPI' cannot be used for 'Extension' development.
Yet, this is used in the standard "Customer Entity" API Page.

Not yet investigated why that function imposes this limitation
