How to call a REST API using Azure Data Factory Pipelines?

Question

I would like to execute a REST API with oauth authentication using ADF Pipeline. Without oauth2, I could call any REST APIs. So here my question is, does this ADF pipeline support REST APis with oauth2 authentication? if yes. Please provide a solution

The API which is am trying, you can find from this URL https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/datafactory/pipelineruns/querybyfactory

Thanks

You could call the REST API with a Web activity in the pipeline, select the Authentication with MSI in the web activity.

Navigate to your subscription or ADFv2 in the portal -> Access control (IAM) -> Add -> Add role assignment -> search for the name of your ADFv2 and add it as an Owner/Contributor role in the subscription. Then the MSI of your ADFv2 will be able to call the rest api.

For exampple, my ADFv2 named joyfactory , just add the MSI with the same name as an Owner or Contributor .

After adding it, check it in the Role assignments , it should be like below.
