Use a custom angular client application with Azure IoT Central

I am exploring the Azure IoT central rest APIs to create a custom Angular client. Is this possible or does it have any limitations? IoT Central is attractive due to its pricing. Specifically, I found that retrieving multiple telemetry values isn't possible as per the following documentation page. Which means you have to send individual "get" requests to fetch multiple telemetry.

Azure IoT Central (get telemetry value)

Is there a possibility to register a call back and receive regular updates of the values like in event hubs? Basically I want to develop a custom client facing app with the IoT Central Pricing. Is it possible?

you can use a Data Export feature for continuously export data to the Azure Event Hub. - Roman Kiss
btw. few questions: how many devices will be connected to the IoTC App, how many messages will handle devices per day, do you need a command for device? - Roman Kiss

It is possible, to receive regular updates on telemetry you can use continuous data export. You can export to Service Bus, Event Hubs and Blob Storage. See the documentation here on how to set that up. You can receive those events in any JavaScript application.

Please be aware that continuous data export will give you updates from all devices. If you need to filter them out you will need to build something to filter that out. One example I have built in the past is a .NET Core application that listens to the messages and sends that to the different clients over SignalR.
