Automate eDiscovery export download in Fabric container

Hi, I am new to fabric and currently my automated solution downloads data from eDiscovery cases export using PowerShell script to a local server. I want to upgrade it to Fabric GCP using JAVA.

 

I am looking for any reference that can guide me about setting up connection for the process to download the expprted data of an eDiscovery cases from the download URL into GCP container.

 

 

Thanks,

Aditya

    Hi aditya9074​ Let me know if this helps.

     Setup Overview

    1. Authentication: Register an app in Microsoft Entra ID with app-only access. Assign MicrosoftPurviewEDiscovery API permissions.
    2. Export Access: Use the Microsoft Graph API to list eDiscovery cases and retrieve export URLs.
    3. Download Logic: In Java, you can use HttpClient or OkHttp to download the export package from the URL.
    4. GCP Upload: Use the Google Cloud Storage SDK for Java to push the downloaded data into your Fabric container.
