Overview
Azure API is a devops & infrastructure apis provided by Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure APIs for compute, storage, AI, and databases. This API is designed to help developers integrate devops capabilities into their applications with minimal setup and maximum reliability.
The API supports OAuth 2.0 authentication, ensuring secure access to all endpoints. With a usage-based pricing model, Microsoft Azure offers flexible options for projects of any size, from prototypes to enterprise deployments.
Microsoft Azure maintains comprehensive documentation, SDKs for popular programming languages, and active community support. The API is built on REST principles, returning JSON responses with standard HTTP status codes, making it straightforward to integrate into existing workflows.
Authentication
This API uses OAuth 2.0 authentication. Exchange your client credentials for an access token, then send the token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
Always store your credentials securely using environment variables or a secrets manager. Never commit API keys to version control or expose them in client-side code.
Code Samples
Python
import requests
import os
API_KEY = os.environ.get("API_KEY", "YOUR_API_KEY")
BASE_URL = "https://management.azure.com"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
response = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/v1/resources", headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
JavaScript
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY || 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const BASE_URL = 'https://management.azure.com';
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/v1/resources`, {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
cURL
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
https://management.azure.com/v1/resources
Go
package main
import (
"net/http"
"fmt"
"io"
"os"
)
func main() {
apiKey := os.Getenv("API_KEY")
if apiKey == "" {
apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://management.azure.com/v1/resources", nil)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer " + apiKey)
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
Pricing
The pricing model is usage-based. Pay only for what you use, with pricing based on API calls, tokens, or compute time. Visit the provider’s pricing page at https://azure.microsoft.com for current rates and detailed pricing information.
