Azure API Management Error RequestedSizeExceeded

Question

Hi,

I need to import a big swagger file in Azure API Management. Using the Portal fails with a generic error.

Using the AZCLI the request fails with the following error message:

ERROR: (RequestedSizeExceeded) The size of requested exceeded the system limitation.

How to overcome this?

@SvenGlöckner Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. Based on my understanding, you have encountered RequestedSizeExceeded error via portal as well as Azure CLI but able to use Rest API by specifying specification-url.

This is due to size limit restrictions when importing specification inline as mentioned in OpenAPI specifications.

Like you mentioned, you should be able to import swagger file via URL with CLI (--specification-url), and Powershell (-SpecificationUrl) as well.

They only solution was to use REST API and specifying specification-url. Then there is no limitation in size
