Create subscriptions in Azure API Management

APPLIES TO: All API Management tiers

When you publish APIs through Azure API Management, it's easy and common to secure access to those APIs by using subscription keys. Client applications that need to consume the published APIs must include a valid subscription key in HTTP requests when they make calls to those APIs. To get a subscription key for accessing APIs, a subscription is required. For more information about subscriptions, see Subscriptions in Azure API Management.

This article walks through the steps for creating subscriptions in the Azure portal.

Important

The Allow tracing setting in subscriptions to enable debug traces is deprecated. To improve security, tracing can now be enabled for specific API requests to API Management. Learn more
