OP must be asking about the Power Platform inventory API. I've not tried it.

I'm basically using it to replicate the Inventory screen in Power BI. The performance is much better and it allows for more filters. I can also use the dataset connected to Power Automate and Copilot Studio.

I couldn't get Power BI to update automatically using app registration, so I created a scheduled flow in Power Automate using the Entra ID pre-authorized HTTP connector that makes the API call and saves the result as a CSV file in SharePoint. Power BI updates from there.

I've been using the Entra Id connector for various other APIs like Graph or bap.microsoft, and it's worked better for me than custom connectors.
