ADLS Gen 2 Connection creation using Fabric REST API

[rahul-biswas_le]

I want to create a connection to ADLS Gen 2 using Fabric Rest API. Can anyone please share an example of how to construct the request body for the API call for this scenario? I have managed to get this, but this is erroring out at the Server end.

import requests

# Define the API endpoint and bearer token

api_url = "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/connections"

# Define the request body

request_body = {

    "connectionDetails":

    # Add your connection details here

    {

        "type": "AzureDataLakeStorage",

        "creationMethod": "AzureDataLakeStorage", # What do I give for creationMethod?

        "parameters": [

            {

                "dataType": "Text",

                "name": "server",

                "value": "https://XXXXXXXXX.dfs.core.windows.net",

            },

            {

                "dataType": "Text",

                "name": "fullPath",

                "value": "optraroot"

            }

        ],

    },

    "connectivityType": "ShareableCloud",  # Connectivity type as specified

    "credentialDetails": {

        "connectionEncryption": "NotEncrypted",

        "credentialType": "ServicePrincipal",

        "credentials": {

            "servicePrincipalClientId": "XXXXXXXXX",

            "servicePrincipalSecret": "XXXXXXXXXXXX",

            "tenantId": "XXXXXXXXX",

        },

        "singleSignOnType": "None",

        "skipTestConnection": True,

    },

    'gatewayId': None,

    "displayName": "My Connection",  # Replace with the desired display name (max 200 chars)

    "privacyLevel": "None",  # Replace with the appropriate privacy level

}

Here is the sample request body that worked for me with Workspace Identity as authentication. 
Try changing the auth to SPN in your case. Hope this helps.

{
	"displayName": "FHE_TestEndPoint",
	"connectivityType": "ShareableCloud",
	"connectionDetails": {
		"creationMethod": "AzureDataLakeStorage",
		"type": "AzureDataLakeStorage",
		"parameters": [
			{
				"dataType": "Text",
				"name": "server",
				"value": "https://sampleadls.dfs.core.windows.net"
			},
			{
				"dataType": "Text",
				"name": "path",
				"value": "sampleadlscontainer"
			}
		]
	},
	"privacyLevel": "Organizational",
	"credentialDetails": {
		"credentials": {
			"credentialType": "WorkspaceIdentity"
		},
		"connectionEncryption": "NotEncrypted",
		"skipTestConnection": false,
		"singleSignOnType": "None"
	},
	"allowDatasourceThroughGateway": false
}
