http_request plugin
Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer
The http_request
plugin sends an HTTP GET request and converts the response into a table.
Prerequisites
- Run
.enable plugin http_request
to enable the plugin - Set the URI to access as an allowed destination for
webapi
in the Callout policy
Syntax
evaluate
http_request
(
Uri [,
RequestHeaders [,
Options]] )

Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Uri | string |
✔️ | The destination URI for the HTTP or HTTPS request. |
RequestHeaders | dynamic |
A property bag containing HTTP headers to send with the request. | |
Options | dynamic |
A property bag containing additional properties of the request. |
Note
- To specify an optional parameter that follows an optional parameter, make sure to provide a value for the preceding optional parameter. For more information, see Working with optional parameters.
- If you're using authentication, use the HTTPS protocol. Attempts to use HTTP with authentication results in an error.
Authentication and authorization
To authenticate, use the HTTP standard Authorization
header or any custom header supported by the web service.
Note
If the query includes confidential information, make sure that the relevant parts of the query text are obfuscated so that they'll be omitted from any tracing. For more information, see obfuscated string literals.
Returns
The plugin returns a table that has a single record with the following dynamic columns:
- ResponseHeaders: A property bag with the response header.
- ResponseBody: The response body parsed as a value of type
dynamic
.
If the HTTP response indicates (via the Content-Type
response header) that the media type is application/json
,
the response body is automatically parsed as-if it's a JSON object. Otherwise, it's returned as-is.
Headers
The RequestHeaders argument can be used to add custom headers to the outgoing HTTP request. In addition to the standard HTTP request headers and the user-provided custom headers, the plugin also adds the following custom headers:
Name | Description |
---|---|
x-ms-client-request-id |
A correlation ID that identifies the request. Multiple invocations of the plugin in the same query will all have the same ID. |
x-ms-readonly |
A flag indicating that the processor of this request shouldn't make any persistent changes. |
Warning
The x-ms-readonly
flag is set for every HTTP request sent by the plugin
that was triggered by a query and not a management command. Web services should
treat any requests with this flag as one that does not make internal
state changes, otherwise they should refuse the request. This protects users from being
sent seemingly-innocent queries that end up making unwanted changes by using
a Kusto query as the launchpad for such attacks.
Example
The following example retrieves Azure retails prices for Azure Purview in west Europe:
let Uri = "https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?$filter=serviceName eq 'Azure Purview' and location eq 'EU West'";
evaluate http_request(Uri)
| project ResponseBody.Items
| mv-expand ResponseBody_Items
| evaluate bag_unpack(ResponseBody_Items)
Output
armRegionName | armSkuName | currencyCode | effectiveStartDate | isPrimaryMeterRegion | location | meterId | meterName | productId | productName | retailPrice | serviceFamily | serviceId | serviceName | skuId | skuName | tierMinimumUnits | type | unitOfMeasure | unitPrice |
