    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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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
