Create and publish a product

In Azure API Management, a product contains one or more APIs as well as a usage quota and the terms of use. Once a product is published, developers can subscribe to the product and begin to use the product's APIs.

In this tutorial, you learn how to:

add product

Prerequisites

Create and publish a product

  1. Click on Products in the menu on the left to display the Products page.

  2. Click + Add.

    added product

    When you add a product, you need to supply the following information:

    Name Description
    Display name The name as you want it to be shown in the Developer portal.
    Name A descriptive name of the product.
    Description The Description field allows you to provide detailed information about the product such as its purpose, the APIs it provides access to, and other useful information.
    State Press Published if you want to publish the product. Before the APIs in a product can be called, the product must be published. By default new products are unpublished, and are visible only to the Administrators group.
    Requires subscription Check Require subscription if a user is required to subscribe to use the product.
    Requires approval Check Require approval if you want an administrator to review and accept or reject subscription attempts to this product. If the box is unchecked, subscription attempts are auto-approved.
    Subscription count limit To limit the count of multiple simultaneous subscriptions, enter the subscription limit.
    Legal terms You can include the terms of use for the product which subscribers must accept in order to use the product.
    APIs Products are associations of one or more APIs. You can include a number of APIs and offer them to developers through the developer portal.
    You can add an existing API during the product creation. You can add an API to the product later, either from the Products Settings page or while creating an API.

  3. Click Create to create the new product.

Add more configurations

You can continue configuring the product after saving it by choosing the Settings tab.

View/add subscribers to the product from the Subscriptions tab.

Set visibility of a product for developers or guest from the Access control tab.

Add APIs to a product

Products are associations of one or more APIs. You can include a number of APIs and offer them to developers through the developer portal. You can add an existing API during the product creation. You can add an API to the product later, either from the Products Settings page or while creating an API.

Developers must first subscribe to a product to get access to the API. When they subscribe, they get a subscription key that is good for any API in that product. If you created the APIM instance, you are an administrator already, so you are subscribed to every product by default.

Add an API to an existing product

add product API

  1. From the Products tab, select a product.
  2. Navigate to the APIs tab.
  3. Click + Add.
  4. Choose an API and click Select.
