I was wondering if someone was able to provide some information regarding the Azure Management Portal. My question is whether the Portal can cater for stubbing APIs?
I have added an API via the Portal as well as some operations however, the documentation isn't clear whether the real API has to be published to Azure.. I was thinking I can add example requests and responses without a real API behind it, i.e. a stub?
You can add a stub easily enough. See the default 'echo' endpoint that comes with each new API that you add to API Management. Copy that pattern and you can build a stub. The API Management documention is some of the better content for Azure so I'd recommend reading it.

Have been working on the integration between Azure DevOps Services and ServiceNow. Our goal is to send Change Requests from ServiceNow to Azure DevOps, where they would become Features or User Stories. Whenever there is some update on Azure DevOps, that update should be sent to ServiceNow, and vice versa.
The idea is to work with REST API.
From our investigation, we have found that it is possible to send updates to other applications through Web Hooks. We are still not sure if this will suite our needs and if we are able to work with this. The problem is that the webhooks only support the HTTP method POST while Service Now requests PATCH to update on it’s side. Is this correct is there any way of creating webhooks with PATCH method?
Other way that we can integrate is to create some software that will send response needed. However, we cannot seem to find a way to automate this response. As I understood, it will generate response only when the script run, not when work item is updated. Is there any way to trigger the sending of a json file with all information within the work item whenever the work item state is updated?
As a workaround, you can try to create a custom service hook. Here is the document you can refer to .
Marketplace provides an extension(Azure DevOps Service Hooks DSL) . This extension framework is designed to ease the development of your own REST Web Hook web site to do this type of integration. It does this by providing a MVC WebAPI endpoint and a collection of helper methods, implemented as an extensible Domain Specific Language (DSL), for common processing steps and API operations such as calling back to the TFS/VSTS server that called the endpoint or accessing SMTP services.

I am not sure if it is possible to trigger that.
But there is a ServiceNow DevOps extension for the integration between Azure Devops and Snow. You may use that.
Disclaimer : I am very new to Azure API Management
Hi Friends,
I have the following requirement to be accomplished -
The user will upload an image from a mobile app as "form-data".
An API will be called through Azure APIM and the image will be stored in Blob.
The call should also invoke a backend API at the same time along with the image which does processing and gives the result back.
Could you please suggest how should I proceed on writing the APIM policy for this. I am aware of handling the image at the API side if it comes as part of JSON data. I am just looking for suggestions on the APIM part or more precisely about how to write the policy if the image is part of form-data.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit Anand
I am just looking for suggestions on the APIM part or more precisely about how to write the policy if the image is part of form-data.
I have reached out to the APIM team for this scenario and they've confirmed this isn't supported at this time. The recommendation is to use JSON payload and, parse & consume accordingly.
If you feel strongly about this, please consider submitting a feature request on Azure UserVoice for the APIM team to review for the product roadmap.
Refer to this issue.
I have an enpoint in my MERN app which I would like to expose to developers.
I came across APIM and would like to use it.
After going to the documentation I would like to know how do I can use APIM for my specific enpoint and where I allow users to generate API's in my client side react app.
I am also going through the API management API. but don't know how to generate user specific API keys...
You could simply mimic what the Developer Portal does using APIMs REST API.
If you are using the Consumption Tier of APIM, you can just create a standalone subscription using the Create or Update Subscription API. Yon don't have to set properties.ownerId in the request payload here.
On the other tiers, standalone subscriptions are not supported yet (but will be as mentioned in the official announcement blog under New Features), so you will have to create a user first using the Create or Update User API and then create a new subscription mentioning this user under properties.ownerId as /users/{userId}.
Since these REST APIs call the Azure Management API, you shouldn't be making these requests from the client and instead should be calling this from your backend.
I have been doing some research about the IBM Bluemix Cloud Integration Service and found the following links:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/cloud/bluemix/cloudintegration/Cloud_Integration_for_Bluemix_User_Guide.pdf
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/CloudIntegration/index.html
From what I have read, I have not been able to understand whether it is able to run some kind of "protocol transformation" or if it just publishes a REST or SOAP API.
I mean, imagine for example that I have a full backend publishing everything as SOAP services, but for some reason my apps only can get information through REST APIs. Does the basic connector o maybe the standard one make that kind of integration? Or do I need to put a third party product (or maybe even DataPower) to make that transformation?
Using the Cloud Integration service you can also create a REST API that links to an existing on-premises API (both SOAP and REST). Please take a look here: Creating a REST API that links to an existing on-premises API. You can upload a file that defines the on-premises API (WSDL or Swagger definition).
Please note that currently Cloud Integration cannot retrieve automatically that definition from your on-premises system. It has to be uploaded manually by the user.
I'm currently working in HTTP JSON API for a touristic webapp. The webapp will be developed by a third-party company and it'll consume the API within the browser.
So I need for the API some sort of authentication to the third-party webapp can consume it. I've been researching a little bit about OAuth, but with this, I have a solution for a user-wide but not for application-wide authorization.
Because the webapp will consume the API within the browser(with Ajax), I'm concerned they will have to put the credentials to consume the API in the user browser.
Another solution would be place the credentials for the API in the server-side, but this don't depend on me.
You could always use something similar to google's method, with a client ID and then a private key used to generate a signature.

That page has some code samples as well.
