Fabric API to create ADLS gen2 connection

[yongshao]

I've tried to create a connection to ADLS gen2 account, but always got the "request has an invalid input" error, could someone please provide a correct playload template?

import sempy.fabric as fabric

client = fabric.FabricRestClient()

payload = {

'displayName': 'TEST',

'connectivityType': 'ShareableCloud',

'connectionDetails':

{

'type': 'AzureDataLakeStorage',

"creationMethods": [

{

"parameters": [

{

"server": "ADLS gen2 account string"

},

{

"path": "/"

}

]

}

],

},

'privacyLevel': 'Organizational',

'credentialDetails':

{

'credentialType': 'Key',

'singleSignOnType': 'None',

'connectionEncryption': 'NotEncrypted',

'skipTestConnection': False,

'credentials':{

       'key': 'access key value'

}

}

}

response = client.post(f"/v1/connections/", json=payload)

We can manually setup such connection via Fabric UI, but for production we have to use Fabric API to create a connection with ADLS gen2 account

I cannot find any payload template or format for such connection creation from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/core/connections/create-connection?tabs=HTTP

it'll be helpful if you could provide the followings:

for SQL, it's 

"connectionDetails": {
    "type": "SQL",
    "creationMethod": "SQL"
}

what's the values of type and creationMethod for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2?

for basic authentication, it's 

"credentials": {
      "credentialType": "Basic",
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "********"
    }

what's the syntax of credentials for Service principal authentication?

Hi @yongshao,

Perhaps you can tried to use "tenant_id", "client_id","client_secret", "storage_account_name",
"container_name" and "file_path" as the configuration that use in requests:

import requests

# configuration
tenant_id = "your-tenant-id"
client_id = "your-client-id"
client_secret = "your-client-secret"
storage_account_name =  "your-storage-account-name"
container_name =  "your-container-name"
file_path = "path/to/your/file"

# Get an access token
url = f"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/oauth2/v2.0/token"
payload = {
    'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
    'client_id': client_id,
    'client_secret': client_secret,
    'scope': 'https://storage.azure.com/.default'
}
response = requests.post(url, data=payload)
access_token = response.json().get('access_token')

# Access data from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
storage_url = f"https://{storage_account_name}.dfs.core.windows.net/{container_name}/{file_path}"
headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}'
}
response = requests.get(storage_url, headers=headers)
