Creating App Service Managed Certificates via API

Question

Now that App Service Managed Certificates are Generally Available, is there a way to create one programmatically with the API? I've seen the workaround that suggests calling Powershell to execute the command through the CLI, but that's not a great option for our particular use case.

Hi @Matt Honeycutt ,

Yes, you should be able to. Have a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/appservice/certificates/create-or-update. All that should be required is canonical and host names in the request body.

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/certificates/{name}?api-version=2019-08-01

   {  
       "location": "East US",  
       "properties": {  
           "canonicalName": "My Managed Cert Name",  
           "hostNames": [  
               "ServerCert"  
           ]  
       }  
   }
