API for GraphQL Saved Credentials

Hi clearyj3 

 

According to the following documentation, currently Service Principals do not support saved credentials.

Hi clearyj3 

 

Based on my testing, below code should work in a Fabric notebook. It uses Service principal with SSO. 

import requests
import json

# Client Application information
client_id = "app client id"
client_secret = "app client secret"
tenant_id = "your tenant id"

# Get token for service principal
url = f"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/oauth2/v2.0/token"

payload = f'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={client_id}&client_secret={client_secret}&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.fabric.microsoft.com%2F.default'

headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parsing the JSON response
    json_response = response.json()
    # Extracting the token
    token = "Bearer " + json_response.get('access_token')
    print("Access token retrieved!")
else:
    print(f'Failed to get a response, status code: {response.status_code}')


# Use the token to make a POST request to the GraphQL API
workspace_id = "your workspace id"
graphql_api_id = "your graphql api item id"
api_endpoint = f"https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/graphqlapis/{graphql_api_id}/graphql"

graphql_query = json.dumps({
  "query": "{ customers { items { Id CustomerId Name } } }" # replace the query with your graphql query
})

query_headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': token
}

result = requests.request("POST", api_endpoint, headers=query_headers, data=graphql_query)

print(result.text)

This is my testing result:

 

To authenticate with a service principal, I create an application in Microsoft Entra ID and give it Power BI Service Item.Execute.All permission. Create a client secret and use it for retrieving the access token. No other setup is required in Azure portal. Then I add the service principal as a Contributor member of the workspace to ensure that it has access to the GraphQL API and the underlying data source. 

 

Hope this would be helpful.
