Hi @Arun Thangamani
To connect to a government API that requires IP whitelisting in Saudi Arabia, you should consider using Azure services that allow you to obtain a static public IP address. Azure provides options for public IP addresses, which can be assigned as static, ensuring that the IP address remains the same and can be whitelisted by the government API.

You can deploy an Azure resource, such as a Virtual Machine or an Azure API Management service, and configure it to use a static public IP address. This way, you can ensure that your outgoing requests to the government API will always come from the same IP address, which is necessary for whitelisting.

Make sure that your Azure subscription is eligible to acquire phone numbers and services in Saudi Arabia, as this may affect your ability to set up the required resources.

Hi @Arun Thangamani
To connect to a government API requiring IP whitelisting in Saudi Arabia, you can use Azure services to obtain a static public IP address. Deploying Azure API Management or a Virtual Machine ensures your outgoing requests come from a consistent IP address, which is necessary for whitelisting.

However, note that the availability of public IP addresses in Saudi Arabia depends on your Azure subscription's eligibility and billing location. Make sure your subscription meets the requirements for acquiring resources in Saudi Arabia.
