@Nikhil Jain - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A paltform.

Can you please provide me with more information about the issue you're facing? What exactly happens when you try to use the API while on VPN?

Providing more details like (what you have tried, what is the error message which you are experiencing, stacktrace of the error message or screenshot) will help us to understand the issue and provide the solution accordingly.

Looking forward for your response.

I am using ATLAS API for Microsoft Purview and have followed steps to create authentication token and tried calling type defs to validate. This works seamlessly when I am on my home network (not connected to my company VPN) however when I am connected to VPN the request takes more than 21 sec and times out.

I am observing that this is intermittent issue and does not happen every time when I am on VPN.

# Get Auth Token

import requests
import json

# Azure AD and Defender API credentials
purview_account_name = 'pview-dataeco-prd-aea'
tenant_id = 'xxxxxxxxx'
client_id = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
client_secret = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
resource = 'https://purview.azure.net'
token_url = f'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/oauth2/v2.0/token'


# Request Access Token
token_data = {
    "grant_type": "client_credentials",
    "client_id": client_id,
    "client_secret": client_secret,
    "scope": f"{resource}/.default",
   }

token_response = requests.post(token_url, data=token_data)
token_response.raise_for_status()
access_token = token_response.json().get("access_token")
print(access_token)
# Headers for API requests
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

# Fetch type defs
api_url = f"https://{purview_account_name}.catalog.purview.azure.com/api/atlas/v2/types/typedefs"
print(api_url)
api_response = requests.get(api_url, headers=headers)
api_response.raise_for_status()
api_data = api_response.json()
#print("API Response:", api_data)

with open('C:\\Users\\OneDrive - Transgrid\\Documents\\MicrosoftPurview\\Pilot\\PythonOutputs\\Typedefs_output.json', 'w') as json_file:
    json.dump(api_data, json_file, indent=4)

print("Data has been written to Typedefs_output.json")

This is the code

@Nikhil Jain - Thanks for the additional details.

It seems that you are facing an issue with the Microsoft Purview Atlas API when you are connected to your company VPN. The request takes more than 21 seconds and times out. However, it works seamlessly when you are on your home network.

This could be due to the VPN connection being slow or the VPN blocking the API request. Since this is an intermittent issue, it could also be due to network congestion or other factors.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check if the VPN connection is stable and fast enough to handle the API request.
Check if the VPN is blocking the API request. You can try disabling the VPN temporarily and see if the API request works.
Check if there is any network congestion or other factors that could be causing the issue.

If none of the above steps work, you can try contacting your company's IT support team for further assistance.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further queries.
