Append other APIs

You can compose an API out of APIs that are exposed by different services, including:

• An OpenAPI specification
• A SOAP API
• A GraphQL API
• A Web App that's hosted in Azure App Service
• Azure Functions
• Azure Logic Apps
• Azure Service Fabric

Note

When you import an API, the operations are appended to your current API.

To append an API to an existing API:

1. Go to your Azure API Management instance in the Azure portal:

   :::image type="content" source="./media/api-management-append-apis/service-page-1.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows the API Management services page." lightbox="./media/api-management-append-apis/service-page-1.png":::

2. Select APIs on the Overview page, or select APIs > APIs in the sidebar menu.

   :::image type="content" source="./media/api-management-append-apis/api-select-1.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows the APIs selection on the Overview page." lightbox="./media/api-management-append-apis/api-select-1.png":::

3. Select the ellipsis (...) next to the API that you want to append another API to.

4. Select Import from the context menu:

   :::image type="content" source="./media/api-management-append-apis/append-02.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows the Import command." lightbox="./media/api-management-append-apis/append-02.png":::

5. Select a service from which to import an API.
