Fabric IP whitelist - REST API Pyspark Notebooks

[naanii]

Hello Community,

We have an application where we want to fetch some data from via PySpark notebooks in Fabric.

The application has a REST API and we have received credentials to authenticate.

We have whitelisted the WAN IP of our office and are able to connect to the API (from our office) with the provided credentials.

Unfortunately, we are not able to authenticate via Fabric, because the IP addresses of Fabric are not in their whitelist.

In Synapse, we use SHIR/private endpoints.

Is there a way we can create a private endpoint so we can use one IP (or range) from Azure and authenticate via notebooks? Otherwise we will not be able to fetch data via Fabric.

Another way is trying to whitelist the Azure Cloud-IPs, but we do not prefer it that way.

Can anyone help us further?

Hi @naanii 

Welcome to Fabric Community and thanks for posting your question here.

As I understand that you are trying to fetch some data from PySpark Notebook in Fabric using REST API, to do that activity you want to create a private endpoint to fetch data via Fabric.

Unfortunately, there is no way to create a private endpoint in Microsoft Fabric. Microsoft Fabric is a networking service that provides a way to connect your on-premises network to Azure. It does not support private endpoints.

For more details, refer to Private endpoints are not supported for Microsoft Fabric, including Microsoft Fabric trial capacitie...

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @v-cboorla-msft,

Thank you for providing information.

We want to fetch data from an application. This application has to whitelist IP-addresses where the requests are from. This can be 1-3 IPs.

Is there no way to have one dedicated IP to run PySpark Notebooks in Fabric? In this case, we should use Synapse with SHIR especially for this application, right?

Hi @naanii 

Thank you for your response,

Yes, there is no direct way to have one dedicated IP to run PySpark Notebooks in Fabric.

And you can use Azure Synapse Analytics with SHIR to meet your requirement.

Hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
