Hi,
I wish to automate my deployment. Does anyone know of an example of importing an openapi file via an ARM template in order to create an API?
I have seen an open source project (Creator / Extractor) that generates arm files from a swagger file, just wondered if ARM could do this natively?
@Graham Allwood There is a format and value keys under API Resource Properties that can be set to import from an OpenAPI File. For example, this pair should work
...
"format": "swagger-link-json",
"value": "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
...
Thank you @Pramod Valavala . I have also found that the format can be changed to indicate the value is the openapi json itself.
What I was hoping is that you could have the value point to a local json file and it would serialise the json in to the file for you :). Maybe not possible, the more I learn arm templates.

@Graham Allwood While ARM Templates are their own can't do it, you could write a PowerShell (or bash) script that reads the file contents and passes it as a parameter to the ARM Template.

@Graham Allwood Please can you share your implementation?
