Require a subscription for products

Security · API Management · 2020_06

Configure products to require a subscription.

Description

When publishing APIs through Azure API Management (APIM), APIs can be secured using subscription keys. Client applications that consume published APIs must subscribe before making calls to those APIs.

When combined with policies, subscriptions allow controls such as throttling to be implemented.

Recommendation

Consider configuring all API Management products to require a subscription.
