REST SDK Developer Guide

You can call the Azure Maps Rest API directly from any programming language, however that can be error prone work requiring extra effort. To make incorporating Azure Maps in your applications easier and less error prone, the Azure Maps team has encapsulated their REST API in SDKs for C# (.NET), Python, JavaScript/Typescript, and Java.

This article lists the libraries currently available for each SDK with links to how-to articles to help you get started.
