Azure API Center is a service that helps you develop and maintain a structured inventory of your organization’s APIs. With API Center, you can track all of your APIs in a centralized location, regardless of their type, lifecycle stage, or deployment location. API Center enables API discovery, reuse, and governance empowering API Platform Teams.
API Center portal is a website that empowers developers and stakeholders to seamlessly discover and engage with APIs. Our reference implementation of the API Center portal enables API platform teams to provide a web-based API discovery and consumption experience to API consumers.
The API Center portal reference implementation provides:
- A framework for publishing and maintaining a customer-managed API portal.
- A portal platform that customers can modify or extend to meet their needs.
- Flexibility to host on different infrastructures, including deployment to Azure Static Web Apps or Azure App Service.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- ✅ You have installed the latest version of Node.js and npm.
- ✅ Vite package.
- ✅ Configured app registration in your Microsoft Entra ID tenant with the right API permission scope and Redirect URI.
- ✅ Portal sign-in enabled with the right role assignment
Follow these steps to get your development environment set up:
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Azure/APICenter-Portal-Starter.git- Switch to main branch:
git checkout main- Configure the
public/config.jsonfile to point to your Azure API Center service. Here’s an example configuration:
{
"dataApiHostName": "<service name>.data.<region>.azure-apicenter.ms/workspaces/default",

}
}- Install the required packages.
npm install- Start the development server - This command will start the portal in development mode running locally:
npm startAzure Static Web Apps is a service that automatically builds and deploys full stack web apps to Azure from a code repository. This tutorial uses GitHub Actions to deploy to Azure Static Web Apps.
- Create a new Static Web App.
- Select GitHub as the Source.
- Select the GitHub organization, repository, and branch containing the API Center portal. Note: You must fork the API Center portal repository to your own personal account or organization and select this repository.
- Select React as the Build Presets.
- Enter / as the App location.
- Enter dist as the Output location.
- Click Create. A GitHub workflow file will be committed to the repository selected in Step #3, and deployment to your Static Web App with GitHub Actions will begin. It may take up to five minutes to see your changes published.
To view your API Center portal running on Static Web Apps, click View app in browser from the Overview tab in the Static Web App resource you created in Azure portal.
