Handle form-data using Azure APIM policy

Disclaimer : I am very new to Azure API Management

Hi Friends,

I have the following requirement to be accomplished -

  1. The user will upload an image from a mobile app as "form-data".
  2. An API will be called through Azure APIM and the image will be stored in Blob.
  3. 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.
