ADF http

Does ADF have a mechanism for receiving HTTP requests and responding to them in real-time?

 

I.e., can you create custom REST/HTTP endpoints using ADF?

    andrewybr2265, the Web Activity allows for calling REST endpoints, but Data Factory is not used for creating and managing endpoints. This can be done by using Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps, and/or Azure API Management (APIM). For example, APIM can be used to configure authentication policies for Azure Functions developed in C#, JavaScript, Java, PowerShell, or Python and Logic Apps which use the HTTP request trigger in the Logic app designer.
