Custom API not showing up in an Apps datasources

[KhadimAli]

Hi,

I just created a Custom API. It is showing up in Connections' custom section, but I am not able to see this up in App's datasources. Is this a bug, or any step I might be missing?

Once you create a custom API, you will need to create a connection to it, in order to use in the app. When you click on "+ Add connection" button, do you see the custom API listed there? If so, you should be able to add a connection to it and then use it in the app.

Thanks for your reply.

So then the documentation needs to be corrected where it says at following link https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/register-custom-api/

3. In the Content tab, select Data sources

4. In the new screen, your existing connections are listed, including the custom API you added. Select your custom API.
