Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for your query.
Yes, you can use Azure Data Factory (ADF) to pull LinkedIn page insights using the LinkedIn REST API. Here are the steps you can follow:
Create a LinkedIn App:
- Go to the LinkedIn Developer Portal and create a new app.
- Add the required permissions for the app to access the LinkedIn page insights API.
- Note down the
Client ID
andClient Secret
of the app.
Create a Linked Service in ADF:
- In the ADF portal, create a new Linked Service of type
REST
. - Enter the
Client ID
andClient Secret
of the LinkedIn app in theAuthentication
section. - Set the
Base URL
tohttps://api.linkedin.com/v2/
. - Test the connection to ensure its successful.
Create a Dataset in ADF:
- Create a new Dataset of type
REST
. - Set the
Linked Service
to the one created in step 2. - Set the
Relative URL
to the LinkedIn page insights API endpoint, e.g.organizations/{organizationId}/pageStatistics
. - Set the
HTTP Method
toGET
. - Define the required parameters and headers for the API call, such as the
organizationId
andX-Restli-Protocol-Version
. - Test the connection to ensure its successful.
Create a Pipeline in ADF:

Web Activity
. - Set the
Linked Service
to the one created in step 2. - Set the
Dataset
to the one created in step 3. - Set the
Method
toGET
. - Run the pipeline to retrieve the LinkedIn page insights.
Note: You may need to adjust the API endpoint and parameters based on your specific requirements. Also, make sure to follow LinkedIn's API usage guidelines and rate limits to avoid any issues.
