ADF External Call Transformation

Mark walks through the External Call transformation to add row-by-row calls out to endpoints to add custom features, validation, data quality, etc. to your ETL process in Mapping Data Flows for Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics.

This is an excellent addition to Data Flows. Thanks!

Thanks for the great tutorial. Helps me a lot. I have another API (POST) that I need send dynamic parameter in body of the API. How may I do it?

This was very helpful. How can we use the pagination rules in the external call in the dataflow. There are multiple stuff present which explain how to use pagination rules on copy activity but not on data flow. It will be helpful if you can help me with that.

It's a great tool for Data Flows. Is there any example being used with POST calls?

[NeumsFor]

Could this be used to do the equivalent of the OLE DB cmd transform and maybe do inferred member processing?

REST calls in Data Flows are, indeed, useful! Thanks for the vid.
By the way YouTube failed to subtitle a single word correctly of this video. It was as if Mark is using some new device that can "block" his voice. Or there was a perfect mix of echo and mumbling that made YouTube subtitling engine say "I give up you are too clever for me". Or he is alien. Bizarre.
