removal of url param from backend url

Question

I am facing one issue with formation of backend api.

Url exposed by Azure api management:

https://****.azure-api.net/Grid/generatetoken

Backend API:

https://****com:8080/as/token

however when hitting the source url from postman, generatetoken is getting added in the back end api.

Please let me know how to remove /generatetoken while invoking the back end api.

Regards

Malay

Malaya Chaterjee Thank you for posting this question in Microsoft Q&A. Based on the above example, I assume you have configured your APIM with API as Grid and operation as generatetoken and backend as https://****com:8080/as/token. As described here, an operation is a combination of HTTP verb and URL template and hence it added generatetoken when calling backend API.

To remove this, use rewrite-uri policy (like below snippet for your example) and here is reference doc: Rewrite URL about this policy which includes for more scenarios like query parameters etc.

<rewrite-uri template="/" />
