How to mitigate the potential risks associated with the use of Azure REST API in user applications/scripts?

Peizhu S 20

I would like to try Azure REST API to extract and export purview data to satisfy some special user requirements. Could anyone share your assessment of the potential risk level associated with using the Azure/Purview REST API in user applications/scripts? Any recommendations to mitigate these risks would be very much appreciated!
