Unable to trigger fabric data pipeline using REST API's
munnas - The API that you use to trigger a Fabric Data Pipeline does not support Service Principals. You have to use a named user account & password. They will be bringing service pricipal support to more API's in the future.
It does work with Username/Password as we are able to do that within our Company. It will eventually work in Power Automate but since the API does not return a response the HTTP Post with Azure Entra (preauthorized) does not function properly.
There is another thread in the community that goes into more detail. It's fairly recent.

You can take a look at this topic: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Pipeline/How-to-trigger-an-on-demand-run-to-a-pipeline-from-a-API/m-p/4248175
I have already configured the application under Microsoft Entra ID (https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationMenuBlade).
Below is a screenshot showing the application permissions that were added. Since microsoft fabric was not available, I added application permissions for the Power BI service instead.
Thanks.
Since microsoft fabric was not available, I added application permissions for the Power BI service instead.I would call this the "money tree approach". You may want to investigate if there are Fabric specific permissions, either already implemented or planned.
