Automate creation of Lakehouse Connections.

[anawast]

Hi. We wanted to build a compeletely automated process for creating one lake shortcuts. We came across this for creating one lake shortcuts using APIs: OneLake Shortcuts - Create Shortcut - REST API (Core) | Microsoft Learn. However the API request requires a connection ID of an existing connection in the lakehouse. We therefore wanted to automate the creation of these connections. However we were unable to find a way to automate that. Do you have any solution?

Hi @anawast ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.

I would like to understand, how API is stopping you to acheive - automate the creation?
How are you planning to automate? Are your using Data Pipelines? Or any? If you can provide these details, I can help you better.

Docs that might provide you some insights -

We wnat to automate the creation of a connection in the lakehouse. Is there any API to achieve the same? When i say connection i mean the creation if the item whose id we provide as the connectionid in the create shortcut API.

Hi @anawast ,

As I understand you were looking for a way to get this connection id automatically.

But for now we only have this option to copy the connection id and use it in the API.
