Using Azure Data Factory to get data from a REST API

Question

Is it possible to use Azure Data Factory to get data from a REST API and insert it to Azure database table?

Answer 1

Data factory has a special feature called http connector which allows you to do GET or POST(with body) to an http endpoint.

Eg:

{

    "name": "HttpLinkedService",

    "properties":

    

        "type": "Http",

        "typeProperties":

        

            "authenticationType": "Anonymous",

            "url" : "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"

        

    

}
