What This Skill Does

Python SDK for managing Azure API Management resources. Covers the full APIM control plane: creating services, importing APIs, configuring policies, managing products, subscriptions, users, and backends.

Automating APIM configuration through the SDK avoids manual portal clicks and makes gateway setup repeatable across environments without exporting and re-importing ARM templates.

When to use it

  • Importing an OpenAPI spec into an existing APIM instance
  • Setting rate-limit and header policies on a specific API
  • Creating tiered products with different subscription requirements
  • Provisioning APIM subscriptions and retrieving API keys programmatically
  • Registering backend services and named secret values for use in policies
