Core Workflows
1. Create API Center Service
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApiCenter;
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApiCenter.Models;
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
.Result
.GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");
ApiCenterServiceCollection services = resourceGroup.GetApiCenterServices();
ApiCenterServiceData data = new ApiCenterServiceData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
Identity = new ManagedServiceIdentity(ManagedServiceIdentityType.SystemAssigned)
};
ArmOperation<ApiCenterServiceResource> operation = await services
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-api-center", data);
ApiCenterServiceResource service = operation.Value;
2. Create Workspace
ApiCenterWorkspaceCollection workspaces = service.GetApiCenterWorkspaces();
ApiCenterWorkspaceData workspaceData = new ApiCenterWorkspaceData
{
Title = "Engineering APIs",
Description = "APIs owned by the engineering team"
};
ArmOperation<ApiCenterWorkspaceResource> operation = await workspaces
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "engineering", workspaceData);
ApiCenterWorkspaceResource workspace = operation.Value;
3. Create API
ApiCenterApiCollection apis = workspace.GetApiCenterApis();
ApiCenterApiData apiData = new ApiCenterApiData
{
Title = "Orders API",
Description = "API for managing customer orders",
Kind = ApiKind.Rest,
LifecycleStage = ApiLifecycleStage.Production,
TermsOfService = new ApiTermsOfService
{
Uri = new Uri("https://example.com/terms")
},
ExternalDocumentation =
{
new ApiExternalDocumentation
{
Title = "Documentation",
Uri = new Uri("https://docs.example.com/orders")
}
},
Contacts =
{
new ApiContact
{
Name = "API Support",
Email = "api-support@example.com"
}
}
};
// Add custom metadata
apiData.CustomProperties = BinaryData.FromObjectAsJson(new
{
team = "orders-team",
costCenter = "CC-1234"
});
ArmOperation<ApiCenterApiResource> operation = await apis
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "orders-api", apiData);
ApiCenterApiResource api = operation.Value;
4. Create API Version
ApiCenterApiVersionCollection versions = api.GetApiCenterApiVersions();
ApiCenterApiVersionData versionData = new ApiCenterApiVersionData
{
Title = "v1.0.0",
LifecycleStage = ApiLifecycleStage.Production
};
ArmOperation<ApiCenterApiVersionResource> operation = await versions
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "v1-0-0", versionData);
ApiCenterApiVersionResource version = operation.Value;
5. Create API Definition (Upload OpenAPI Spec)
ApiCenterApiDefinitionCollection definitions = version.GetApiCenterApiDefinitions();
ApiCenterApiDefinitionData definitionData = new ApiCenterApiDefinitionData
{
Title = "OpenAPI Specification",
Description = "Orders API OpenAPI 3.0 definition"
};
ArmOperation<ApiCenterApiDefinitionResource> operation = await definitions
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "openapi", definitionData);
ApiCenterApiDefinitionResource definition = operation.Value;
// Import specification
string openApiSpec = await File.ReadAllTextAsync("orders-api.yaml");
ApiSpecImportContent importContent = new ApiSpecImportContent
{
Format = ApiSpecImp
