votes

I followed the example which was provided by Azure documentation. Azure documentation section. However i got 404 resource not found error all the time.

This is the URL i used - https://xxxx.management.azure-api.net/subscriptions/xxxxxx/resourceGroups/xxxxx/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/xxxxxx/users/xxxxxx?api-version=2016-07-07

Header as - Authorization: SharedAccessSignature ###########

Further subscription id, resource group and service name was taken from properties. Which was shown in below image.

I couldn't find an error in my code and please help me to solve this issue.

so what request are you sending exactly? – 4c74356b41
I tried Create Or Update request (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/apimanagement/users). Did you try to create users in Azure Rest API management? – mugzi
can you update your question with the request you are sending? obviously, remove all the sensitive information – 4c74356b41
Ok sure ill do that now – mugzi
Have you tried this from Fiddler or Postman? Also, be sure to use the PUT (not POST) http operation – Erik Oppedijk

So this is what worked for me:

PUT https://{apim-name}.management.azure-api.net/users/{username}?api-version=2016-07-07

headers:  
Authorization = SharedAccessSignature KEY  
Content-Type = application/json

body:  
{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "Qwerty123$",
    "firstname": "name",
    "lastname": "notname"
}

It seems you mixed up the old REST url with the new one:

Try https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/xxxx/yyyy

You used the old REST URL: https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/rest/api/apimanagement/apimanagementrest/api-management-rest which expects /users

The documentation on this doesn't mention this very clearly! With the new URL you will receive 401 messages (unauthorized)

You will also need to authenticate on a different way, take a look at this example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-disaster-recovery-backup-restore

EXAMPLE:

GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/{MY_RG_APIMANAGEMENT}/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/{MY_APIM_NAME}/users?api-version=2014-02-14

headers:
Authorization = Bearer {KEY}
Content-Type = application/json
