Azure API Management Import API always says: API with specified name already exists

I am trying to import an API I have into Azure API Management using swagger, should be fairly simple but I always get the same error:

One or more fields contain incorrect values: API with specified name already exists

I do not have ANYTHING setup in Azure API management yet, very frustrating.

UPDATE

I am using Swashbuckle (https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle) to add Swagger to my WebAPI project.

It is generating Swagger 2.0 docs.

Here is the info element of the Swagger Doc:

swagger: "2.0",
info: {
version: "v3",
title: "ShopZioAPIv3"
},

It does not matter what I change that to, I still always get:

One or more fields contain incorrect values: API with specified name already exists

Solution

  • That error message appears when you don't specify a unique API prefix.

    I realize that you said that you don't have anything already already setup in the API however, if you could try putting some unique value in this field:

    API Prefix field

    An API Management service instance is designed to host multiple APIs, so the prefix is used to differentiate between the APIs by using the first part of the path.

    The subdomain part of the URL is used to identify the service. e.g.

    http://{servicename}.azure-api.net{/api-prefix}/path/segment?param=value

    Update

    Based on the provided Swagger, the problem comes from multiple operation objects with the same OperationId. This is invalid swagger.

    Usually Swashbuckle will fail before generating operations with duplicate Ids. There is a ResolveConflictingActions method that allow you to put your own code to deal with these cases. It seems like in this case the resolution code is not doing the right thing.
