Need an API to get all the non-hidden resources from the azure subscription.

Question

Hi team,

I have a requirement where I need an API to get all the non-hidden resources from the subscription. I have gone through the documentation and find an API: GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resources?api-version=2021-04-01 which gives all the resources from the subscription, but it also contains hidden resources and I’m not able to figure out how to differentiate hidden resources from the response as no unique identifier/flag is present for hidden/non-hidden resource.

Thanks!

Hi @Rajat Saxena (NON EA SC ALT) Thanks for reaching out. Currently its only supported in the Azure portal, the user can choose to include or exclude hidden resources in the list by checking the box.
The rest api call GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resources?api-version=2021-04-01 provides all the resources under the subscription we don't have any filter query that allows any sort of "hidden" property to be passed to filter on the server either through rest api call / Az powershell command.

we have the following github threads discussing the same,
