My query is that lets say I connect to a VDI and then access a clients azure environment. From there I need to make an Rest API call to other on prem or cloud hosted systems such as splunk, cmdb - service now. I am not able to directly call the API in python notebook. Is there any configuration required in Azure first to do so?
I tried directly calling the API using import requests but not able to do so. I think the system doesnot recognize the api call from azure as a trusted one.

I have many services on the azure plateform .instead of going on azure portal always and checking which services are running i want main parameters of azure services on my dashboard like pipelines successfully ran in data factory,storage used in data lake.so is there any api which can do or fetch this data?
Almost all the Azure resources have REST API exposed to get their status and key metric/attributes, so you need to write some script or code to pull these and display in your UI(may be simple javascript based). For example to get the pipeline run details, refer this
How to automate the update of Web Service URL in Azure API management when CI/CD pipeline executes resulting in change of external IP.
You need to use the Open API specs from your APIs and use REST API / Powershell to update or add routes in API Management. There's also an extension but I am not sure if it's updated or not. You can read more about in here:

I have on-premise azure functions create via the Azure Functions Runtime. How do I call these functions from a logic apps resource on the cloud. Based on what I have been reading I need to install the on-premise data gateway first. This will be the way logic apps will communicate to on-premise resources. However this communication seems to only be possible for local data sources sqlserver, biztalk server etc. How exactly do i angagne with my local functions. Is there a connector for this?
You can expose your local machine using a tool such as:
Ngrok
Localtunnel
Serveo
Teleconsole
Pagekite
and use the provided url as a proxy to call your local function. So your Logic App will call one of those services, which will route the request to your function.
I assume your functions are HTTP triggered.
Calling on-prem HTTP resources directly from Logic Apps can be done, as you suggested, via the on-premises data gateway. You just need to create a custom connector for this.
There are tutorials under the official documentation, but as an external blog this one explains the required steps (for SOAP endpoint): https://www.codit.eu/blog/connecting-to-on-premise-http-endpoints-from-logic-app/
Does the Azure CLI SDK use the Azure Rest API internally? And if so any further details on how these relate to each other internally would be great.
Yes, you are right. Azure CLI uses Azure Rest APi.
If you use --debug, you will find the API the command use. For example:
az vm list --debug
Yes, as Johan said, Azure Power Shell/CLI, SDK all call Azure Rest API. If you use debug mode, you could see the API. More information about Azure Rest API, you could check this link.
Each service in Azure exposes a set of APIs. For managing/creating/updating your resources (e.g. creating a Virtual Machine), these are REST calls. Note: Other services may use non-HTTP/REST APIs (e.g. AMQP for Azure Service Bus).
While you can use your favorite HTTP networking stack or utility (e.g. curl, postman etc.) to make HTTP/REST calls, Microsoft publishes a set of SDKs to make things easier to develop applicationsin various languages.
The Azure CLI happens to be implemented in python, and thus makes use of the Azure Python SDKs to get its work done.
There is no separate Azure CLI SDK, however.
Is there any management API in Windows Azure Mobile Services? For example: methods to create mobile services or data tables. I could not find any documentation. I have read in some other thread that the API is available but not available publicly. Any expectation about its availability.
There is no REST API for managing Windows Azure Mobile Services, for operations like you mentioned (creating / configuring services; creating / configuring tables; etc). If you want to script those operations you can use the Azure command-line interface - that will let you perform those operations in the command line (for example via a batch / shell / command line script). That tool is implemented in node.js, so you can also use it in a node.js application, by using the azure-cli package.
There is a REST API for using a specific Azure Mobile Service - and you can find the documentation for it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj710108.aspx.
