Disha Bodade 80

Hi Team,

I want to provide search API to team, so that they can integrate it with there system.
but I am not able to run ADX query API in postman. I am not able to understand what I should use to authenticate ADX in postman, how to get auth token?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Disha

I created access token for Entra App and able to query API's but token was valid till 1 hour alone. Instead of it, can't I create and use Entra Service account?, I mean lets say If I create user in EntraID and give access to that user? and query using Bearer Token or basic Auth?

As seen here, you need to provide an authorization header.

This documentation references the documentation regarding the authentication.

This tells us a bearer access token is needed.

Can you try to replay this scenario first?

Hello @Disha Bodade ,

welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

As seen here, you need to provide authentication. This page also references documentation on how to get a Microsoft Entra access token.

I have no experience with the REST api but if you are able to use one of the SDKs, this is highly recommended.

SDKs take away the complexity of eg. authentication and throttling.

Check this blog post about use the SDKs.

This one is written in C# but there are more SDKs available for more programming languages.
