How to generate the Bearer Token to access the cache Delete endpoint of Azure API Management

Question

I want to clarify how to generate the Bearer token from azure Portal to access the Azure API Managment Cache Delete endpoint.

DELETE https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/{serviceName}/caches/{cacheId}?api-version=2022-08-01

documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/apimanagement/cache/delete?view=rest-apimanagement-2022-08-01&tabs=HTTP

When I use the try-out button it is generating a bearer token, but in the azure portal under Direct Managment API, its generating only SAS token. How to get this bearer token or how can i use the SAS token to access this endpoint.

Hi @Nishra Nasar Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.

You can create a new Service principal role and assign Reader/Contributor permissions for that role to your API Management instance. You can add this role assignment through Access Control -> Add role assignment tab of your APIM instance.

Once you assign the access, you can generate a Bearer token for this role by calling the https://login.microsoftonline.com/{{tenantId}}/oauth2/token endpoint from postman. Please refer the article Azure REST API - Create a bearer token which outlines all the steps needed to get and test the token.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance.
