Unable to create connection for web activity

I am trying to create a connection within web activity to trigger a REST API :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/datafactory/pipelines/create-run?view=rest-datafactory-20...

 

But getting the below error while using org account :

Unable to create connection using an organizational account, please check to see if the data source path is correct and that the data source supports using an organizational account.

 

So is there any document which states when all the org account cannot be used for creating a connection.

 

And when using SP auth, getting the below error :

Connection could not be created. This may mean it is not accessible from this network or at this URI, or that a gateway is required to access this data source

Hey,

The issue was due to missing value in token audience URI

Hi @NandanHegde ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.

Based on the information you provided it is more related towards Azure Data Factory Rest API.
Can you please confirm which service you are using - Fabric or Azure Data Factory?

Hey, I am trying to trigger an Azure data Factory REST API from Fabric data pipeline web activity.

Even PowerBI rest APIs are giving the same error from fabric web activity.

Even tried the below one :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/refresh-dataset

Could you please share few screenshot and explain the issue with few more details you are facing.
I will try to help you with your issue.

Powerbi refersh :

ADF :

https://medium.com/@kohliaprajita/invoke-azure-data-factory-pipeline-using-web-activity-f945b5bcebef

 

 

rather than using managed identity, leveraging service principal / Account authentication while creating the connection and getting the below error :

 

But getting the below error while using org account :

Unable to create connection using an organizational account, please check to see if the data source path is correct and that the data source supports using an organizational account.

 

So is there any document which states when all the org account cannot be used for creating a connection.

 

And when using SP auth, getting the below error :

Connection could not be created. This may mean it is not accessible from this network or at this URI, or that a gateway is required to access this data source

 

You can refer the above posts and try reciprocating it
