Why not prebuilt connector? Http(Green trigger)

I agree, you can use http connector, or create custom connector for convenience. Poor question.

you cannot use the http connector cause the REST API is not open the the www, its only internal so you need to use a gateway and a custom connector!

That's not true. You CAN use the http action in flow to connect to a restful API.

The way I understand this, it that you(us,we) as the developers have created our own internal application and therefore it is unlikely we will find a prebuilt connector we can use to connect witht the API, hence we have to use a custom connector.

Also for ChatGpt: For Process 1, I recommend using a Flow that uses a custom connector. This is because the process involves accessing data from an internally created web application with basic REST API functionality. A custom connector can be used to interact with the API and retrieve the necessary data. For Process 2, I recommend using an Unattended UI flow (b). This process involves accessing data from a public website with no API functionality. An unattended UI flow can automate the process of extracting data from the website, even when the process is running in an unmonitored queue. This is particularly useful for processes that need to run without human intervention, such as nightly batch jobs or processes that run on a schedule.

I think the first one should be 'Flow that uses a custom connector' if there is a REST api available

I would agree that a custom connector seems like the obvious choice. Still, it's an internal website, and power automate, which runs on the internet, would require a gateway setup of some sort to interact with internal systems. I know there is one for SQL Server, but I am not sure about an internal REST API.

The on-prem data gateway can be used with a custom API connector. Below article is linked to the learn more option next to the checkbox to enable this when creating a new custom connector: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/on-premise-apis/

It is not an internal website, but an internally created website. The question does not mention the fact that you cannot access the website from outside the organization's network.

Access data from an internal web service that has a public REST API functionality as part of a nightly batch job 1. Use a flow that uses a custom connector. Since there is a REST API (even if it’s an internal service), the most efficient approach is to build or use a custom connector in Power Automate. This lets you securely connect to the service and schedule the flow to run at night without manual intervention. Access data from a public web site with no API functionality for emails processed through an unmonitored queue 2. Use an unattended UI flow. If the website does not expose any API, you’ll need to rely on robotic process automation (RPA) to interact with the site’s interface—essentially “screen scraping” or simulating user clicks. Because the queue is unmonitored and runs without user interaction, an unattended UI flow is the right choice.

C. Flow that uses a custom connector: This allows you to connect to the internal web application’s REST API and automate the data access as part of a nightly batch job. B. Unattended UI flow: This is suitable for automating interactions with a public website that does not have API functionality, as it can simulate user actions to extract data.
