Azure Synapse Analytics API Reference Guide

This page describes the asa (Azure Synapse Analytics data sources) endpoint.

Note

Additional fields may be included in some responses you receive; however, these attributes are for internal purposes and are therefore undocumented.

ASA workflow

  1. Create an Azure Synapse Analytics data source.
  2. Search Azure Synapse Analytics data sources.
  3. Update Azure Synapse Analytics data sources.

Create a data source
