Data Ingestion Patterns in Data Factory using REST API

I am reaching out to you gather best practices around ingestion of data from various possible API’s into a Blob Storage. I am considering to interface with all the various possible API’s using Data Factory and here are the possible set of API’s which I have currently:

  1. Ingesting from an API service within the same Resource Group in Azure Cloud

  2. Ingesting from an API service from a different resource group but within the same Azure subscription

  3. Ingestion from an API service from a different Azure Subscription / VNET

  4. Ingestion from an API service available publicly such as Twitter, Facebook

  5. Ingestion from an API service which is available on-premises

  6. Any other possible API services

My questions around the above API services are:

a) What are the specific security related settings I need to take care in order to interface with the above API’s (Managed Identity, Service Principal etc.)

b) When to use which security setting ?

c) Along with Azure Data Factory, is there any other Azure service which can be leveraged for the above ingestion from the API’s

d) What are the specifics of Runtimes / Linked services which I should be taking care about e) Any specifics around AAD resource and Authentication type
