As part of security measures, I need to rotate the API subscription key very frequently and regularly in an automated way. Is there a way to achieve it in Azure APIM?
Hi, @Raja
You can use Azure Automation and a PowerShell script to regenerate API subscription keys periodically to achieve rotation.
You may find the following articles helpful.
Alternatively, if you can use the REST API or SDK, you can use the regeneration API as follows.

@Takahito Iwasa Thank you for your answer.
@Raja Unfortunately we don't have a built-in lifecycle management of subscription keys and would like to share a similar discussion https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/952119/apim-subscription-key-expiry-and-notification.html around this ask.
You can implement this functionality by consuming REST API with the above option or can have a timer triggered function app to rotate the keys regularly. Please share feedback with our product team via aka.ms/apimwish so that other users who are in need to similar feature can upvote it. Let me know if you have any further questions.
I think that it can be realized in various ways, but I tried using Logic Apps to periodically call the key regeneration API of API Management and created an article.

I think that you can rotate if you apply this.
