About Azure API Management

Build Status

Azure API Management Extension for Visual Studio Code

Use the Azure API Management extension to perform common management operations on your Azure API Management service instances without switching away from Visual Studio Code.

Azure API Management is a fully managed service that helps customers to securely expose their APIs to external and internal consumers. API Management serves as a facade and a front door for the API implementations and enables their frictionless consumption by developers. Visit this page for more information and resources related to Azure API Management.
