I have deployed an API with certain business logic in AKS. The load balancer type is internal. I am able to access this within AKS cluster. on the below address
http:servicename/myapi/
But I want to call this API from an ADF pipeline. How can I do that? What are the configurations I should do to be able to call this API from ADF?
You have to use Web Activity to make Rest API call from Azure DataFactory Pipeline.
An Azure Data Factory may be used to call a custom REST endpoint
through Web Activity. You can send datasets and connected services to
the activity to be consumed and accessed.
Note : By utilizing self-hosted integration runtime, Web Activity may also invoke URLs that are hosted on a private virtual network. The URL endpoint should be visible to the integration runtime.
Please check below documentation to know more about web activity : Web Activity in Azure Datafactory.

I am trying to POST data to a REST API using Azure Data Factory.
The REST API only accepts and returns XML.
As the ADF Rest API activity only handles Json, I will have to do this via an azure function.
The issue with this is the Azure Function cant use our hosted integration runtime. The hosted integration runtime is on a VM with a static IP which has been whitelisted by the API owner and so is required.
Im asking for help listing my options to perform the following in Azure:
Read data from an on premise sql server, outputted in xml.
pass this data row by row to the API
thank you for any help.
I am using a Logic App for which I need to create a custom connector. This connector depends on a web service, for which I am trying to add using wsdl definition.
Now If I provide the url, it needs authentication, which I am not able to provide via this UI. I can see the parameters can be provided while using it in the logic app. However it fails to pull the services and hence not creating the definition for the connector
I tried downloading the wsdl and adding here as a file, but the schema have xs import tags, because of which its failing again. And as per this answer, I can not replace it with actual schema.
<xs:import namespace="http://some.name/" schemaLocation="./path/to/it.xsd"/>
Is there a way that I do not need to provide the custom connector definition manually and make it work using wsdl, as it contains a lot of endpoints and it would be too much to add all actions and triggers manually. Plus it would be also reference for me if needed in future for such scenario
You may try this if the services are accessible over the internet, then you call service endpoint over HTTP or HTTPS from azure logic apps. This article will help you with details steps to be followed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/connectors/connectors-native-http
If it is not accessible over the internet then this article will help with step by step process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-gateway-connection
Before you can access data sources on premises from your logic apps, you need to create an Azure resource after you install the on-premises data gateway on a local computer. Your logic apps then use this Azure gateway resource in the triggers and actions provided by the on-premises connectors that are available for Azure Logic Apps.

I am a new user of the Azure platform, and am having trouble understanding how differents parts are conected. I have data in a Storage blob that I would like to use to make HTTPS POST requests to a web service. My question therfore is as follows: How can I send data from my Azure storage blob to a REST API endpoint?
First, let's start with a little background:
Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
ARM is the REST API that you interface with, using the Azure Portal, PowerShell module, or cross-platform (xPlat) CLI tool, in order to provision and manage cloud resources inside your Azure subscription (account). In order to provision resources, you must first create a Resource Group, essentially a management container for various cloud resource instances.
Azure Storage (Blob)
Microsoft Azure Storage offers several different services:
Blob (unstructured, flat data storage)
Files (cloud-based SMB share for Azure VMs)
Queue (FIFO / LIFO queues, similar to Azure Service Bus)
Table (NOSQL partitioned storage)
Of these types of storage, Blob storage is arguably the most common. In order to utilize any of these storage services, you must first provision a Storage Account inside an ARM Resource Group (see above). To specifically utilize blob storage, you create a Blob Container inside your Storage Account, and then create or upload blobs into this container(s). Once data is stored in an Azure Blob Container, it does not move unless a service explicitly requests the data.
Azure App Service
If you're deploying a Web App (with a front end) or a REST API App (no front end), you'll be using Microsoft Azure's App Service offering. One unique feature of Azure App Service's Web App (I know, it's a mouthful) offering is WebJobs. WebJobs essentially allow you to run arbitrary code in the cloud, kind of like a background worker process. You can trigger WebJobs when blobs are created or uploaded, using this document.
Essentially, you use the [BlobTrigger()] .NET attribute, from the Azure WebJobs SDK, to designate code that will be executed inside Azure WebJobs whenever a new blob is created. The code that executes could grab the blob data, and send it off to your REST API endpoint.
In Amazon cloud API there is the possibility to get identity data, meaning data from the running instance - on which region it is, dns ....
is there the same option in Azure? as I am creating management system in which the server is installed on a virtual machine and I need to know to which region it is related, all this using REST API
In Azure you can use Azure API Management REST API to get all sort of information for Azure:
ex:
Lists all of the resources in a subscription:
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resources?$top={top}$skiptoken={skiptoken}&$filter={filter}&api-version={api-version}
For the complete documentation look at this page here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn776326.aspx
You can do similar things using Powershell scripts as well.
Hei
I have a simple scenario, where I have an on-premise system that hosts a rest api. I what based on data in that rest to fill data into a Auzure SQL database using some type of synchronization job. I just unsure of the best method to do this? Can one use Azure Data Factory for this? What other services can do the job?
Under Azure app services is a background task service called Azure Web Jobs
