Try out Data Factory in Microsoft Fabric, an all-in-one analytics solution for enterprises. Microsoft Fabric covers everything from data movement to data science, real-time analytics, business intelligence, and reporting. Learn how to start a new trial for free!

Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based data integration service that allows you to create data-driven workflows in the cloud for orchestrating and automating data movement and data transformation. Using Azure Data Factory, you can create and schedule data-driven workflows (called pipelines) that can ingest data from disparate data stores, process/transform the data by using compute services such as Azure HDInsight Hadoop, Spark, Azure Data Lake Analytics, and Azure Machine Learning, and publish output data to data stores such as Azure Synapse Analytics for business intelligence (BI) applications to consume.

This quickstart describes how to use REST API to create an Azure Data Factory. The pipeline in this data factory copies data from one location to another location in an Azure blob storage.

If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.

Prerequisites

Note

We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. To get started, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

  • Azure subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can create a free trial account.
  • Azure Storage account. You use the blob storage as source and sink data store. If you don't have an Azure storage account, see the Create a storage account article for steps to create one.
  • Create a blob container in Blob Storage, create an input folder in the container, and upload some files to the folder. You can use tools such as Azure Storage Explorer to connect to Azure Blob storage, create a blob container, upload input file, and verify the output file.
  • Install Azure PowerShell. Follow the instructions in How to install and configure Azure PowerShell. This quickstart uses PowerShell to invoke REST API calls.
  • Create an application in Microsoft Entra ID following this instruction. Make note of the following values that you use in later steps: application ID, clientSecrets, and tenant ID. Assign application to "Contributor" role at either subscription or resource group level.

Note

For Sovereign clouds, you must use the appropriate cloud-specific endpoints for ActiveDirectoryAuthority and ResourceManagerUrl (BaseUri). You can use PowerShell to easily get the endpoint Urls for various clouds by executing “Get-AzEnvironment | Format-List”, which will return a list of endpoints for each cloud environment.

Set global variables

  1. Launch PowerShell. Keep Azure PowerShell open until the end of this quickstart. If you close and reopen, you need to run the commands again.

    Run the following command, and enter the user name and password that you use to sign in to the Azure portal:

    Connect-AzAccount

    Run the following command to view all the subscriptions for this account:

    Get-AzSubscription

    Run the following command to select the subscription that you want to work with. Replace SubscriptionId with the ID of your Azure subscription:

    Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "<SubscriptionId>"

  2. Run the following commands after replacing the places-holders with your own values, to set global variables to be used in later steps.

    $tenantID = "<your tenant ID>"
$appId = "<your application ID>"
$clientSecrets = "<your clientSecrets for the application>"
$subscriptionId = "<your subscription ID to create the factory>"
$resourceGroupName = "<your resource group to create the factory>"
$factoryName = "<specify the name of data factory to create. It must be globally unique.>"
$apiVersion = "2018-06-01"

Authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID

Run the following commands to authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID:

$credentials = Get-Credential -UserName $appId
Connect-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal  -Credential $credentials -Tenant $tenantID

You will be prompt to input the password, use the value in clientSecrets variable.

If you need to get the access token


GetToken

Create a data factory

Run the following commands to create a data factory:

$body = @"
{
    "location": "East US",
    "properties": {},
    "identity": {
        "type": "SystemAssigned"
    }
}
"@

$response =   Invoke-AzRestMethod -SubscriptionId ${subscriptionId}  -ResourceGroupName ${resourceGroupName} -ResourceProviderName  Microsoft.DataFactory -ResourceType "factories" -Name  ${factoryName} -ApiVersion ${apiVersion} -Method PUT -Payload ${body}
$response.Content

Note the following points:

  • The name of the Azure Data Factory must be globally unique. If you receive the following error, change the name and try again.

    Data factory name "ADFv2QuickStartDataFactory" is not available.

  • For a list of Azure regions in which Data Factory is currently available, select the regions that interest you on the following page, and then expand Analytics to locate Data Factory: Products available by region. The data stores (Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, etc.) and computes (HDInsight, etc.) used by data factory can be in other regions.

Here is the sample response content:


{  
    "name":"<dataFactoryName>",
    "identity":{  
        "type":"SystemAssigned",
        "principalId":"<service principal ID>",
        "tenantId":"<tenant ID>"
    },
    "id":"/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/<dataFactoryName>",
    "type":"Microsoft.DataFactory/factories",
    "properties":{  
        "provisioningState":"Succeeded",
        "createTime":"2019-09-03T02:10:27.056273Z",
        "version":"2018-06-01"
    },
    "eTag":"\"0200c876-0000-0100-0000-5d6dcb930000\"",
    "location":"East US",
    "tags":{  

    }
}

Create linked services

You create linked services in a data factory to link your data stores and compute services to the data factory. In this quickstart, you only need create one Azure Storage linked service as both copy source and sink store, named "AzureStorageLinkedService" in the sample.

Run the following commands to create a linked service named AzureStorageLinkedService:

Replace <accountName> and <accountKey> with name and key of your Azure storage account before executing the commands.

$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/linkedservices/AzureStorageLinkedService?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$body = @"
{  
    "name":"AzureStorageLinkedService",
    "properties":{  
        "annotations":[  

        ],
        "type":"AzureBlobStorage",
        "typeProperties":{  
            "connectionString":"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=<accountName>;AccountKey=<accountKey>"
        }
    }
}
"@
$response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method PUT -Payload $body
$response.content

Here is the sample output:

{  
    "id":"/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/<dataFactoryName>/linkedservices/AzureStorageLinkedService",
    "name":"AzureStorageLinkedService",
    "type":"Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/linkedservices",
    "properties":{  
        "annotations":[  

        ],
        "type":"AzureBlobStorage",
        "typeProperties":{  
            "connectionString":"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=<accountName>;"
        }
    },
    "etag":"07011a57-0000-0100-0000-5d6e14a20000"
}

Create datasets

You define a dataset that represents the data to copy from a source to a sink. In this example, you create two datasets: InputDataset and OutputDataset. They refer to the Azure Storage linked service that you created in the previous section. The input dataset represents the source data in the input folder. In the input dataset definition, you specify the blob container (adftutorial), the folder (input), and the file (emp.txt) that contain the source data. The output dataset represents the data that's copied to the destination. In the output dataset definition, you specify the blob container (adftutorial), the folder (output), and the file to which the data is copied.

Create InputDataset


$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/datasets/InputDataset?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$body = @"
{  
    "name":"InputDataset",
    "properties":{  
        "linkedServiceName":{  
            "referenceName":"AzureStorageLinkedService",
            "type":"LinkedServiceReference"
        },
        "annotations":[  

        ],
        "type":"Binary",
        "typeProperties":{

                "fileName":"emp.txt",
                "folderPath":"input",
                "container":"adftutorial"
            }
        }
    }
}
"@

$response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method PUT -Payload $body
$response

Here is the sample output:

    "id":"/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/<dataFactoryName>/datasets/InputDataset",
    "name":"InputDataset",
    "type":"Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/datasets",
    "properties":{  
        "linkedServiceName":{

        }
    },
    "etag":"07011c57-0000-0100-0000-5d6e14b40000"
}

Create OutputDataset

$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/datasets/OutputDataset?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$body = @"
{  
    "name":"OutputDataset",
    "properties":{  
        "linkedServiceName":{

    },
    "etag":"07013257-0000-0100-0000-5d6e18920000"
}

Create a pipeline

In this example, this pipeline contains one Copy activity. The Copy activity refers to the "InputDataset" and the "OutputDataset" created in the previous step as input and output.

$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/pipelines/Adfv2QuickStartPipeline?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$body = @"
{
    "name": "Adfv2QuickStartPipeline",

                            "type": "AzureBlobStorageReadSettings",
                            "recursive": true
                        }
                    },
                    "sink": {
                        "type": "BinarySink",
                        "storeSettings": {
                            "type": "AzureBlobStorageWriteSettings"
                        }
                    },
                    "enableStaging": false
                },
                "inputs": [
                    {
                        "referenceName": "InputDataset",
                        "type": "DatasetReference"
                    }

            }
        ],
        "annotations": []
    }
}
"@
$response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method PUT -Payload $body

Create pipeline run

In this step, you trigger a pipeline run. The pipeline run ID returned in the response body is used in later monitoring API.

$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/pipelines/Adfv2QuickStartPipeline/createRun?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method POST 
$response.content

Here is the sample output:

{  
    "runId":"04a2bb9a-71ea-4c31-b46e-75276b61bafc"
}

You can also get the runId by using following command


($response.content | ConvertFrom-Json).runId

Parameterize your pipeline

You can create pipeline with parameters. In the following example, we will create an input dataset and an output dataset that can take input and output filenames as parameters given to the pipeline.

Create parameterized input dataset

Define a parameter called strInputFileName , and use it as file name for dataset.


$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/datasets/ParamInputDataset?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$body = @"

Create parameterized pipeline

Define a pipeline with two pipeline level parameters: strParamInputFileName and strParamOutputFileName. Then link these two parameters to the strInputFileName and strOutputFileName parameters of the datasets.

Create pipeline run with parameters

You can now specify values of the parameter at the time of creating the pipeline run.


$path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/pipelines/Adfv2QuickStartParamPipeline/createRun?api-version=${apiVersion}"

$body = @"
{  
        "strParamInputFileName": "emp2.txt",
        "strParamOutputFileName": "aloha.txt"
}
"@

$response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method POST -Payload $body
$response.content
$runId  = ($response.content | ConvertFrom-Json).runId

Here is the sample output:

{"runId":"aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e"}

Monitor pipeline

  1. Run the following script to continuously check the pipeline run status until it finishes copying the data.

        $path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/pipelineruns/${runId}?api-version=${apiVersion}"


    while ($True) {

        $response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method GET 
        $response = $response.content | ConvertFrom-Json

        Write-Host  "Pipeline run status: " $response.Status -foregroundcolor "Yellow"

        if ( ($response.Status -eq "InProgress") -or ($response.Status -eq "Queued") -or ($response.Status -eq "In Progress") ) {
            Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
        }
        else {
            $response | ConvertTo-Json
            break
        }
    }

    Here is the sample output:

        {
      "id": "/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/<factoryName>/pipelineruns/aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e",

      "annotations": [],
      "runDimension": {},
      "isLatest": true
    }

  2. Run the following script to retrieve copy activity run details, for example, size of the data read/written.

         $path = "/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/${factoryName}/pipelineruns/${runId}/queryActivityruns?api-version=${apiVersion}"


    while ($True) {

        $response =  Invoke-AzRestMethod  -Path ${path}  -Method POST 
        $responseContent = $response.content | ConvertFrom-Json
        $responseContentValue = $responseContent.value

        Write-Host  "Activity run status: " $responseContentValue.Status -foregroundcolor "Yellow"

        if ( ($responseContentValue.Status -eq "InProgress") -or ($responseContentValue.Status -eq "Queued") -or ($responseContentValue.Status -eq "In Progress") ) {
            Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
        }
        else {
            $responseContentValue | ConvertTo-Json
            break
        }

Verify the output

Use Azure Storage explorer to check the file is copied to "outputPath" from "inputPath" as you specified when creating a pipeline run.

Clean up resources

You can clean up the resources that you created in the Quickstart in two ways. You can delete the Azure resource group, which includes all the resources in the resource group. If you want to keep the other resources intact, delete only the data factory you created in this tutorial.

Run the following command to delete the entire resource group:

Remove-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName $resourcegroupname

Run the following command to delete only the data factory:

Remove-AzDataFactoryV2 -Name "<NameOfYourDataFactory>" -ResourceGroupName "<NameOfResourceGroup>"
