Microsoft Azure API Management .NET REST API Sample

This sample demonstrates how to make calls to the API Management REST API using C# and demonstrates two ways to generate the access token that lets you make calls to the REST API.

This sample demonstrates the following REST API calls.

• Get a list of all products - GET /products
• Get the information for a specific product - GET /products/{productId}
• List all APIs for a specific product - GET /products/{productId}/apis
• Get a list of all APIs - GET /apis
• Get the details of a specific API - GET /apis/{apiId}
• Get the details of a specific API - GET /apis/{apiId} with export=true to include information about the operations.

This sample also demonstrates how to generate an access token programmatically and in the publisher portal.

There are two ways to run the sample depending on how you want to generate the access token.

To run the sample using a manually generated access token from the publisher portal

To manually generate the access token from the publisher portal, follow the instructions at To manually create an access token and paste the token into the following line in program.cs.

static string sharedAccessSignature = "uid=...&ex=...";

If you use this method, then you can comment out the call to CreateSharedAccessToken in the subsequent section.

// To programmatically create the access token so that we can authenticate and call the REST APIs,
// call this method. If you pasted in the access token from the publisher portal then you can
// comment out this line.
// sharedAccessSignature = CreateSharedAccessToken(id, key, expiry);

To run the sample using a programmatically generated access token

To programmatically generate the access token, follow the instructions at To programmatically generate an access token and copy the key and either the primary or secondary key and paste them into the following section in program.cs.

// Programmatically generate the access token used to call the API Management REST API.
// See "To programmatically create an access token" for instructions on how to get
// the values for id and key:
// https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/5b13010a-d202-4af5-aabf-7ebc26800b3d#ProgrammaticallyCreateToken
// id - the value from the identifier text box in the credentials section of the
//  API Management REST API tab of the Security section.
string id = "<your identifier value here>";
// key - either the primary or secondary key from that same tab.
string key = "<either the primary or secondary key here>";
