Hi,
I’m trying to build a solution to extract data from SharePoint Online, including:
Site Pages (.aspx files)
Documents and files from libraries
Possibly metadata from lists as well
I would like to understand how this can be done using Azure services — primarily Azure Functions, but I’m also open to using Logic Apps, Power Automate, or other recommended tools.
A few specific questions I have:
What is the recommended way to authenticate securely from an Azure Function to SharePoint Online (using app registration, managed identity, etc.)?
Is it possible to extract the content or structure of .aspx pages programmatically?
How can I access and download documents from a document library via Azure?
Are there any sample implementations or best practices for this kind of SharePoint integration?
How should I handle large data volumes or throttling during extraction?
Any guidance, examples, or architectural suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks!

We can handle above requirements using Azure logic app.
In logic apps we have share point connector where we can do multiple actions.
I would suggest you to create consumption plan logic app.
1.Is it possible to extract the content or structure of .aspx pages programmatically?
-- To extract the content, we have Get file content connector.
2.How can I access and download documents from a document library via Azure?
Please refer share point connector documentation below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepoint/
Example: share point connector configuration in logic app.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78100685/copy-files-from-sharepoint-site-content-to-azure-blob-using-logic-apps--->How should I handle large data volumes or throttling during extraction?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepoint/#limits
Based on your requirement we need to change the logic app designer.
Please follow above suggestions, and please let me know if you have any further concerns.

Have you got a chance to implement logic app to exact file from share point?
