What is the Management API URL in Azure API Managamenet StandardV2

Question

The documentation contains information that URL should be like

https://{servicename}.management.azure-api.net

However, this does not seem to be true for StandardV2. I see there:

"managementApiUrl": "https://smapi.api-db3-prod-scaleunit-001.p.azurewebsites.net/",

Is this correct? The same URL is for all API Management StandardV2 we have. It looks like generic URL.

@Krzysztof Madej Thanks for reaching out. Firstly, we are targeting to retire direct call to management Api and v2 apim sku's uses centralized management Api and we control it.

You are correct that the URL format you mentioned, https://{servicename}.management.azure-api.net, is the default URL format for Azure API Management services. However, for the V2 tiers, the management API URL is different, as you have observed.

The management API URL for Standard V2 tier is in the format https://smapi.{scale unit}.p.azurewebsites.net/, where {scale unit} is the region where your API Management service is located. This URL is the same for all API Management V2 services, and it is not specific to your service name.

The reason for this difference is that the Standard V2 tier uses a different architecture compared to other tiers as mentioned above.

do let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.
