Hello @sachin gupta ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thanks for posting the query.

The data can be extracted using LinkedIn REST API using REST connector in Azure Data Factory. Web activity and copy activity in Azure data factory can be used to achieve the same. Please refer the previous thread for additional information on the same.

This tutorial (Tutorial: Sentiment analysis on streaming data using Azure Databricks), you learn how to run sentiment analysis on a stream of data using Azure Databricks in near real time.

The same Notebook can be called using Azure Databricks Notebook activity in Azure Data Factory to retrieve the data from Twitter API.

For more details, refer to Run a Databricks notebook with the Databricks Notebook Activity in Azure Data Factory.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

@PRADEEPCHEEKATLA - I apologies for the wrong question I asked. I need help to know how we can retrieve the data from LinkedIn API and how to authenticate the linkedIn end point?

Thanks,
Sachin

Hello @sachin gupta ,

You can explore below links to explore about LinkedIn APIs.

https://aeroleads.com/blog/linkedin-api-guide/

https://linkedin-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html

With respect to ADF, if you would like to make any API call use Web activity or webhook activity.

If you would like to create a dataset which get data from API then use HTTP connector or REST connector.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
