Automated backup for APIM
Provide automated and manual backup feature something similar to what we have in Azure Web Apps (

Multiple Environment per Instance
If you want your users to see the documentation in production, but "Try It" in your staging environment we'd have to deploy a separate APIM instance and manage content in both.
Below is a brain dump of how I imagine this feature could be used in various aspects of the APIM solution.
apiminstance.azure-api.net < this would be the primary
environment.apiminstance.azure-api.net < this would be the environment specific or a custom domain per environmentThere would be no environment.apiminstance.portal.azure-api.net site
Also if we could set the default environment to use for the Try It button that'd be fantastic.
Each environment should…

Configure custom git repository
At this moment, each API management instance offers a git repository which can be used to make changes to the instance. In DevOps scenarios where one team has multiple instances (dev, staging, prod) you want these changes to follow the product lifecyle along with other changes. For example: a certain release includes a new back-end API which you also want to include into APIM. You'd want the entire package to move from development into staging in one single release.
Imho the perfect way to fix this is to hook-up each APIM release to a centralized github repo, and have it…

Support API definition updates as part of Visual Studio builds
For applications developed in Visual Studio and leveraging Swashbuckle, can we get the ability to update the API definitions in APIm on each build and deploy (CI) rather than having to hand-update APIm each time.

Publish widgets through a REST API
Can you provide the ability to publish widgets through a Rest API? It's annoying you can't style or change the format without doing it manually.

PowerShell Support to Create/Import an API from a Logic App
Currently there is no PowerShell Automation Support to Create / Import a Logic App similar to functionality for deploying an App Service API App.

Add file name to deployment error.
When I edited my git repo locally and then pushed it back to the server there was a typo error in my code, opps... The error message was as follows and it tells me what was wrong, even what line number the error was on, but it does not tell me what policy file the error occurred in. Would be nice if you told me what file the error is in.
Deployment operation failed due to invalid data: One or more fields contain incorrect values: Error in element 'send-request' on line 10, column 4: ; expected.
Thanks
5 votesThanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this is not a trivial change for us and we won’t be able to accommodate this now, but will keep it in the backlog. We understand the desire for having more descriptive and actionable errors and will try to add additional information to error messages.

Add protections around "Current Revision"
Currently: When we load APIM in Azure Portal and navigate to an API, the CURRENT Revision for that API is loaded by default. If a user forgets to switch to a non-CURRENT revision and makes edits, they will have changed the live API, potentially harming consumers of the API.
Desired: Allow some way to protect against these accidental changes to the CURRENT revision. Here are two possible solutions:
Make it possible to specify which revision is loaded by default when the APIM instance is loaded in Azure Portal
Lock the CURRENT revision such that changes are impossible unless a user…

Add Support for Properties in the OAuth Servers
Add support for Properties (e.g. {{TokenEndpoint}}) for the OAuth server endpoints.
Currently, the UI and the actual server do not function when you update (via REST API) the OAuth server to have a tokenEndpoint = '{{TokenEndpoint}}' as the value. The REST API accepts the value but then the actual server cannot acquire a token.
This is needed to support clone/merge/pull promotion of the config from one environment to another, e.g. from dev instance to prod instance.
Currently the only option is to exclude that file during merge as they must have unique environment values.

staging
Hi,
Would it be possible to add a staging feature to APIM? Right now it is very hard to validate configuration changes in Production. Even if you have a PPE/TEST separate environment, the configurations won't be the same.
Deploying to production without testing is too risky.
Would it be possible to add a staging feature, where configurations can be tested in production and if after flight configurations seem validated, then changes can be published from staging to production

Allow API Management to respond during backend upgrades
Create a new management API endpoint that allows an API to be marked with the states as "being upgraded" and "in production". When an API is marked as "being upgraded" it should return a 503 status with a retry-after header instead of passing the request through.
This would allow client applications that know how to do retries be uninterrupted by backend upgrades.

Subscriptions with an expiration timespan
Allow subscriptions to have a lifetime, and specify an expiration date. We are looking into monetization of our API's and one of the issues we are facing is that we would like to revoke access to an API based on the billing model (e.g. 3 month license).
To minimize the custom implementation for monetization, we would like to be able to specify an expiration date.
