How to create or import an Azure API Connection (Microsoft.Web) using Terraform?

Question

My requirement is to create a Logic App that will receive some inputs from other resources like Azure Data Factory and send out an email. I created this setup using the Azure portal and Logic app designer. When I added a Send an Email (V2) I was asked for an Office 365 account login and everything works as expected.

Now I'm trying to achieve all of this through Terraform. I can import the existing Logic app workflow to an AzureRM resource azurerm_logic_app_workflow but that doesn't import the API connection. I'm unsure on how to import the existing API connection into Terraform (or even to create a new API connection in Terraform).

Please advise.

Answer 1

It is not possible to create Azure API App from Terraform at the moment.

https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/443.

There is workaround how to create Azure API App with AZ CLI as https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/2866#issuecomment-317544291 shows :

az resource create -g yugangw2 -n yugangw2-api12 --resource-type Microsoft.web/sites  --is-full-object -p "{\"kind\":\"api\", \"location\":\"West US\", \"properties\":{  \"serverFarmId\":\"/subscriptions/0b1f6471-1bf0-4dda-aec3-cb9272xxxxxx/resourcegroups/yugangw2/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/yugangw2-plan\"}}"

It seems there is no real difference between App Service and API Service (different icons).

So you could just use azurerm_app_service for both API and Web Apps.

I think what you are looking for is.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/api_connection

Unfortunately, it does seem to be capable of referencing MS managed api connections, at least not that I've found so far.
