Learn the foundations of building and managing APIs with Azure. You’ll create RESTful APIs in Python, deploy them with Azure Function Apps, and integrate them into Azure API Management. Along the way, you’ll secure your APIs with authentication and API keys while exploring how large-scale systems manage performance and security.

Working with API Management

Take your APIs to the next level by applying policies for security, transformation, and performance. You’ll use OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and CORS to secure access while implementing caching, quotas, and rate limits to keep APIs fast and reliable. By the end, you’ll know how to protect and optimize APIs for real-world usage.

Automating API Lifecycle & Observability

In this course, you’ll learn how to create, publish, and protect APIs using Azure API Management. You’ll start by setting up an API Management instance and documenting APIs for developers. Next, you’ll explore how to control access with subscriptions and keys, and apply policies to secure and optimize traffic. Finally, you’ll see how API gateways make services easier to manage and scale, with hands-on practice in the Azure portal.
