What environment variables are required?

You primarily need to set the AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variable so the APIM client can target the correct Azure account.

Is it possible to manage API-level policies?

Absolutely. You can apply XML-based policies at various scopes including global, product, API, or specific operation levels to handle rate limiting and header transformations.

Can I import APIs from external OpenAPI URLs?

Yes, the skill provides functionality to import APIs from OpenAPI JSON/YAML links by specifying the OpenAPI_LINK format.

How do I authenticate with Azure using this skill?

The skill utilizes DefaultAzureCredential from the azure-identity library, which automatically supports environment variables, managed identities, and Azure CLI authentication.

Cloud Infrastructure

Manages Azure API Management (APIM) services, APIs, and policies using the Python SDK.

This skill enables Claude to programmatically interact with Azure API Management (APIM) using the official Python SDK. It facilitates the end-to-end lifecycle of API management, including provisioning APIM instances, importing APIs from OpenAPI specifications, configuring products and subscriptions for access control, and defining complex XML policies for request transformation and rate limiting. It is ideal for developers and DevOps engineers looking to automate their API infrastructure or integrate APIM management into automated deployment pipelines.
