Not able to create a VM using azure Rest API

I am trying to create a VM using the azure Rest API. I am trying to call the REST Api through Postman.

PUT Request:- https://management.dev.azure.com/subscriptions/subscriptionID/resourcegroups/ResourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployementName/DetDeployment?api-version=2019-05-01

I am using the above REST API with my subscription ID and resouceGroupName.

In the Authorization section, I am providing the Type as Basic Authentication and passing my credentials in the username and password section. Along with this, I am also passing values in the Body section.

{
 "properties": {
   "templateLink": {
     "uri": "https://mystoragename.blob.core.windows.net/templates/VMTemplate.json",
     "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0"
   },
   "parametersLink": {
     "uri": "https://mystoragename.blob.core.windows.net/templates/VMParam.json",
     "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0"
   },
   "mode": "Incremental",
   "debugSetting": {
     "detailLevel": "requestContent, responseContent"
   }
 }
}

Whenever I am sending this request so it is giving me an error like 400 Bad Request and message in the body section is :

Our services aren't available right now

We're working to restore all services as soon as possible. Please check back soon.

Please tell me what wrong I am Doing here. From last 1 day, I am trying this.

Solution

  • Looks like your resource is wrong, it should be https://management.azure.com not https://management.dev.azure.com.

    PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/{deploymentName}?api-version=2019-05-01

    Reference - Deploy resources with Resource Manager templates and Resource Manager REST API

    Besides, I notice you use the Basic Authentication, not sure if it works for azure rest API(I think may not), even the way will work, but if your account is MFA-enabled, then you will not be able to use that.

    So for the Authentication, i recommend you to see this link to get an access token to call the rest api. Or you could try the easiest way -> click Try it in this doc -> login in your account -> then you will be able to test the rest api like that in postman. Also, you can copy the Authorization token and test it in the postman.
