How to generate new registration token for hostpool in AVD?

Question

How do I generate a new registration token for a hostpool in AVD (azure Virtual Desktop) through REST API?
I am able to create a hostpool using the REST API as given here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/desktopvirtualization/host-pools

Since I am doing it from within my application, I am hitting the REST API for hostpool creation. It does creates the hostpool, but to add any session host I need the registration token which does not gets created with it. I can retrieve the old registration token also using REST API, which I created using portal but when it expires, is there any way to create it from API or ARM template? I can't allow user to go to portal so I have to do it from my application. Please do let me know is there a way for it or a better way to handle this.

Hi HimanshuNankani-3787,

Thanks to post question here, first i want to say you that i am not very familiar with REST API but i have make some research for you.
First maybe you can create / update Registration Token by powershell ?
Here some informations about that : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.desktopvirtualization/new-azwvdregistrationinfo?view=azps-7.5.0#example-1-create-a-windows-virtual-desktop-registration-token

After that, i found this for REST API part : https://medium.com/wortell/getting-started-with-rest-api-for-wvd-arm-spring-release-and-sharing-my-github-examples-39593acb4c0e

And this :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/desktopvirtualization/host-pools/create-or-update#registrationtokenoperation

Hope with all this informations, you can do what you need :)
