Data Pipeline API - how to get the parameters of an executed pipeline?

[dafad_dew]

Hi...

Trying to work out if it's possible to get the parameters a data pipeline was executed with.

Looks like the API supports executing a pipeline with parameters: REST API - Run on-demand item job

And it also supports Getting the job instance by ID: REST API - Get item job instance

But I can't find any API which provides the parameters that were provided to run a job instance.

A GET to workspaces/{workspace id}/items/{pipeline id}/jobs/instances/{job id} does not include the parameters. Sample response is:

{ 
   "id": "{job id}",
   "itemId": "{pipeline id}",
   "jobType": "Pipeline",
   "invokeType": "Manual",
   "status": "InProgress",
   "failureReason": null,
   "rootActivityId": "{id}",
   "startTimeUtc": "2025-05-27T07:44:55.78Z",
   "endTimeUtc": null,
   "ResponseHeaders": {
      <snip>
   },
   "executionDuration": 0
}

No parameters 😞

The parameters are available in the Fabric workspace via the Monitoring Hub - click on a pipeline run, and a box appears with the number of parameters over on the right hand side:

click on the number, and the parameter names and values appear.

So how do I get that same list of parameter names and values via the Fabric API?

Thanks!

DD.

Hi @dafad_dew,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

You're right while the Monitoring Hub UI in Microsoft Fabric shows the number and details of parameters used during a pipeline run, the current REST APIs do not expose these parameters via the available job instance endpoints.

Here are two possible approaches:

• Use a Notebook or Data Flow activity to write pipeline().parameters to a Lakehouse or file for future tracking.
• If triggering the pipeline via the Run on-demand item job API, log the jobId and parameters in your external system for traceability.
