In our previous posts, we created an App Service and an API Management in Azure. Let’s now use Postman to send a request to the Azure API Management endpoint.
Go to the APIM and select the API. Under Settings, copy the Base URL:
Now, in our case, we have /api/Customers to get all customers:
So our URL is https://crmdevapim.azure-api.net/api/customers.
Let’s open Postman and create this request. Click Send:
We get a response back:
Now these tests are without a subscription. Let’s try this with a Subscription:
If we rerun our Postman request, we get a 401 Access Denied – { “statusCode”: 401, “message”: “Access denied due to missing subscription key. Make sure to include subscription key when making requests to an API.” }:
In the header in Postman, we will pass the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key key. To get the key value, go to the APIM Subscriptions:
Resend the request and you will get back a response:

Hello Carl and thanks for your simple and quick tutorial.
But how you get the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key value? It is “overlapped” in my APIM, and I cannot copy it.
Regards and thanks in advance for your answer.
Thank you Carl, I have just found the answer to my previous question about get the key value for subscription.
