Azure API Management
Manage your APIs with Azure API Management, the API Manager for the AI era, through APIQuality.
What is Azure API Management?
Azure API Management is Microsoft Azure’s fully managed API management service, which allows you to efficiently publish, secure, monitor and scale your company’s APIs. The platform offers a robust API gateway together with a management plane and a developer portal, and is designed for organisations looking for an enterprise-grade, cloud-native and highly scalable solution.
Azure API Management is an ideal choice for those who want to implement cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud deployments, and stands out for its robust security policies, its native integration with the Azure ecosystem and for being a platform on which it is possible to work with REST, SOAP, GraphQL and WebSocket APIs.
How do we use Azure API Management in APIQuality?
Direct deployment of APIs
Configure and deploy your APIs automatically and securely thanks to the scripts and pipelines integrated with Azure API Management.
Once the configuration is set up at the organisational level, you will be able to visualise all available APIs in your Azure API Management interface and access them from the APIQuality catalogue.

Some FAQs about Azure API Management
Can I import my APIs directly from Azure API Management to APIQuality?
Yes, although you must take into account that these APIs must be previously registered in Azure API Management and you must have access to their configuration. Once the synchronisation has been configured at an organisational level, you will be able to easily view and manage your APIs from the APIQuality catalogue.
How do I deploy an API in Azure API Management from APIQuality?
APIQuality offers a guided deployment form where you can configure key parameters such as gateways, categories and endpoints. In addition, you can use an automatically generated api.yaml file from your OpenAPI and a project template, allowing you to simplify and centralise deployment.
Do validation rules specific to Azure API Management apply?
Yes, APIQuality includes a set of validation rules specifically designed to ensure good practices in Azure API Management. These rules cover aspects such as definition in the appropriate version (v3.0.x or compatible), parameter validation or the absence of duplicate paths to maintain consistency and security in all your projects.
What stages are available for working with Azure API Management?
Azure API Management currently presents the life cycle implemented in APIQuality, distinguishing three stages:
Initializer:the project is created to be deployed in Azure API Management.
Deployer: carries out the automated deployment in Azure API Management.
Synchronizer: synchronises the deployed data within Azure API Management itself.
Is it possible to work with multiple Azure API Management environments from APIQuality?
Yes, APIQuality allows you to configure several environments (development, production, etc.) from a single platform, as each one is associated with a specific Azure API Management gateway. This allows you to adapt the configurations and metrics of your APIs to the needs of each environment.
What are the benefits of APIQuality over using the Azure API Management portal directly?
While Azure API Management’s portal is a solid tool for direct API Gateway management, APIQuality adds a layer of abstraction, automation and validation that is very useful if you manage multiple APIs, environments and teams.
