Additional cost for calling Data Factory API

Question

Hi all,

Currently we are going to add an Data Factory API call to the Data Factory pipeline.

We have a pipeline that run every 10mins and we would like to add a Web activity that call the Data Factory queryPipelineRuns API. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/datafactory/pipeline-runs/query-by-factory?view=rest-datafactory-2018-06-01&tabs=HTTP). That means we will make around 30day * 24hr * 60/10min = 4320 call/month.

May I know will it generate any extra cost? Assume we are in the East Asia region. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your query here.

Adding a Web activity to call the Data Factory queryPipelineRuns API will indeed generate additional costs. The pricing for Azure Data Factory is based on several factors, including pipeline orchestration and execution, data movement, and monitoring

For your scenario, the primary cost will come from the pipeline orchestration and execution. Each API call is considered an activity run, and you will be making 4,320 calls per month. The cost for these activity runs will depend on the pricing tier and region (East Asia in your case)

To get a precise estimate, you can use the Azure Pricing Calculator and input your specific usage details
