azure-mgmt-apimanagement-dotnet
Helps your agent manage API services, like setting up APIs, products, and access policies. Useful for controlling how APIs are used.
What it does
This code helps manage Azure API services. It allows you to create and configure API services, define APIs, products, subscriptions, and policies.
When to use it
- ✓When you need to set up a new API management service in Azure.
- ✓To configure APIs, products, and subscriptions for your APIs.
- ✓When defining access rules and limits for your APIs.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Create an API management service named 'my-api-service' in the 'EastUS' region with the email 'admin@contoso.com'.”

Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement (.NET)
Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure API Management resources via Azure Resource Manager.
⚠️ Management vs Data Plane
- This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement): Create services, APIs, products, subscriptions, policies, users, groups
- Data Plane: Direct API calls to your APIM gateway endpoints
Installation
dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement
dotnet add package Azure.Identity
Current Version: v1.3.0
Environment Variables
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
Authentication
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement;
// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);
// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));

Core Workflow
1. Create API Management Service
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement;
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement.Models;
// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription
.GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");
// Define service
var serviceData = new ApiManagementServiceData(
location: AzureLocation.EastUS,
sku: new ApiManagementServiceSkuProperties(
ApiManagementServiceSkuType.Developer,
capacity: 1),
publisherEmail: "admin@contoso.com",
publisherName: "Contoso");
// Create service (long-running operation - can take 30+ minutes)
var serviceCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetApiManagementServices();
var operation = await serviceCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"my-apim-service",
serviceData);
ApiManagementServiceResource service = operation.Value;
2. Create an API
var apiData = new ApiCreateOrUpdateContent
{
DisplayName = "My API",
Path = "myapi",
Protocols = { ApiOperationInvokableProtocol.Https },
ServiceUri = new Uri("https://backend.contoso.com/api")
};
var apiCollection = service.GetApis();
var apiOperation = await apiCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"my-api",
apiData);
ApiResource api = apiOperation.Value;
3. Create a Product
var productData = new ApiManagementProductData
{
DisplayName = "Starter",
Description = "Starter tier with limited access",
IsSubscriptionRequired = true,
IsApprovalRequired = false,
SubscriptionsLimit = 1,
State = ApiManagementProductState.Published
};
var productCollection = service.GetApiManagementProducts();

FAQ
What is Azure API Management?
It's a service that helps companies manage APIs they publish to external or internal developers.
What's the difference between 'Management Plane' and 'Data Plane'?
The 'Management Plane' is for configuring the API service (creating APIs, products, etc.). The 'Data Plane' is for interacting with the APIs that have already been configured.
How do I authenticate with Azure?
You can use default Azure credentials, like environment variables or managed identities, to authenticate.
