Adding an API to a product using an ARM template

Question

I try to add an API to an existing product using the following ARM template:

{  
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",  
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",  
    "parameters": {},  
    "resources": [  
        {  
            "type": "Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/products/apis",  
            "apiVersion": "2019-01-01",  
            "name": "apim-id/product-id/api-id"  
		}  
    ]  
}  

I get the following error: Invalid payload format. Contract should have 'properties' specified.
However the properties are not specified in the Microsoft Learn documentation

Answer 1

I fixed it by adding an empty properties element to the ARM template:

{
     "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
     "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
     "parameters": {},
     "resources": [
         {
             "type": "Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/products/apis",
             "apiVersion": "2019-01-01",
             "name": "apim-id/product-id/api-id",
             "properties": {}
         }
     ]
 }
