Importing an API definition to Azure API Management

Import your API definition to Azure API Management.

1. Open your command line.
2. To avoid setting the context in each command, you can add it as a variable by executing the following command:

   $ApiMgmtContext = New-AzApiManagementContext -ResourceGroupName "{ResourceGroupName}" -ServiceName "{ServiceName}"

   Parameter	Description
   {ResourceGroupName}	Group of resources associated to the service. It can be found on the Microsoft Azure portal.
   {ServiceName}	Name of the service. It can be found on the Microsoft Azure portal.

3. Enter the following command to upload the file:

   Import-AzApiManagementApi -Context $ApiMgmtContext -SpecificationFormat "{format}" -SpecificationPath "{yourfile}" -Path "{api-url-suffix}" 

4. Add the correct parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   {format}	Format of the API definition to import. The value can be: Swagger (recommended) Wadl Wsdl OpenApi
   {yourfile}	Path and file name of the API definition you exported.
   {api-url-suffix}	Web API path to add at the end of your API's public URL.

Results

Your API is imported and the command line returns information about your API, such as its ID, which can be used to update it. You can check your API definition on the Azure portal.
