Manage Azure API Management services, APIs, products, and policies.
## Installation
```bash
pip install azure-mgmt-apimanagement
pip install azure-identity
```
## Environment Variables
```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=your-subscription-id
```
## Authentication
```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement import ApiManagementClient
import os
client = ApiManagementClient(
credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
subscription_id=os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]
)
```
## Create APIM Service
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import (
ApiManagementServiceResource,
ApiManagementServiceSkuProperties,
SkuType
)
service = client.api_management_service.begin_create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
parameters=ApiManagementServiceResource(
location="eastus",
publisher_email="admin@example.com",
publisher_name="My Organization",
sku=ApiManagementServiceSkuProperties(
name=SkuType.DEVELOPER,
capacity=1
)
)
).result()
print(f"Created APIM: {service.name}")
```
## Import API from OpenAPI
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import (
ApiCreateOrUpdateParameter,
ContentFormat,
Protocol
)
api = client.api.begin_create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
api_id="my-api",
parameters=ApiCreateOrUpdateParameter(
display_name="My API",
path="myapi",
protocols=[Protocol.HTTPS],
format=ContentFormat.OPENAPI_JSON,
value='{"openapi": "3.0.0", "info": {"title": "My API", "version": "1.0"}, "paths": {"/health": {"get": {"responses": {"200": {"description": "OK"}}}}}}'
)
).result()
print(f"Imported API: {api.display_name}")
```
## Import API from URL
```python
api = client.api.begin_create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
api_id="petstore",
parameters=ApiCreateOrUpdateParameter(
display_name="Petstore API",
path="petstore",
protocols=[Protocol.HTTPS],
format=ContentFormat.OPENAPI_LINK,
value="https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
)
).result()
```
## List APIs
```python
apis = client.api.list_by_service(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim"
)
for api in apis:
print(f"{api.name}: {api.display_name} - {api.path}")
```
## Create Product
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import ProductContract
product = client.product.create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
product_id="premium",
parameters=ProductContract(
display_name="Premium",
description="Premium tier with unlimited access",
subscription_required=True,
approval_required=False,
state="published"
)
)
print(f"Created product: {product.display_name}")
```
## Add API to Product
```python
client.product_api.create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
product_id="premium",
api_id="my-api"
)
```
## Create Subscription
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import SubscriptionCreateParameters
subscription = client.subscription.create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
sid="my-subscription",
parameters=SubscriptionCreateParameters(
display_name="My Subscription",
scope=f"/products/premium",
state="active"
)
)
print(f"Subscription key: {subscription.primary_key}")
```
## Set API Policy
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import PolicyContract
policy_xml = """
<policies>
<inbound>
<rate-limit calls="100" renewal-period="60" />
<set-header name="X-Custom-Header" exists-action="override">
<value>CustomValue</value>
</set-header>
</inbound>
<backend>
<forward-request />
</backend>
<outbound />
<on-error />
</policies>
"""
client.api_policy.create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
api_id="my-api",
policy_id="policy",
parameters=PolicyContract(
value=policy_xml,
format="xml"
)
)
```
## Create Named Value (Secret)
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import NamedValueCreateContract
named_value = client.named_value.begin_create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
named_value_id="backend-api-key",
parameters=NamedValueCreateContract(
display_name="Backend API Key",
value="secret-key-value",
secret=True
)
).result()
```
## Create Backend
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import BackendContract
backend = client.backend.create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
backend_id="my-backend",
parameters=BackendContract(
url="https://api.backend.example.com",
protocol="http",
description="My backend service"
)
)
```
## Create User
```python
from azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models import UserCreateParameters
user = client.user.create_or_update(
resource_group_name="my-resource-group",
service_name="my-apim",
user_id="newuser",
parameters=UserCreateParameters(
email="user@example.com",
first_name="John",
last_name="Doe"
)
)
```
## Operation Groups
| Group | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `api_management_service` | APIM instance management |
| `api` | API operations |
| `api_operation` | API operation details |
| `api_policy` | API-level policies |
| `product` | Product management |
| `product_api` | Product-API associations |
| `subscription` | Subscription management |
| `user` | User management |
| `named_value` | Named values/secrets |
| `backend` | Backend services |
| `certificate` | Certificates |
| `gateway` | Self-hosted gateways |
## Best Practices
1. **Use named values** for secrets and configuration
2. **Apply policies** at appropriate scopes (global, product, API, operation)
3. **Use products** to bundle APIs and manage access
4. **Enable Application Insights** for monitoring
5. **Use backends** to abstract backend services
6. **Version your APIs** using APIM's versioning features
## When to Use
