I am facing one issue with formation of backend api. Url exposed by Azure api management: https://****.azure-api.net/Grid/generatetoken Backend API: https://****com:8080/as/token however when hitting the source url from postman, generatetoken is getting added in the back end api. Please let me know how to remove /generatetoken while invoking the back end api. Regards Malay

Malaya Chaterjee Thank you for posting this question in Microsoft Q&A. Based on the above example, I assume you have configured your APIM with API as Grid and operation as generatetoken and backend as https://****com:8080/as/token . As described here , an operation is a combination of HTTP verb and URL template and hence it added generatetoken when calling backend API. To remove this, use rewrite-uri policy (like below snippet for your example) and here is reference doc: Rewrite URL about this policy which includes for more scenarios like query parameters etc. <rewrite-uri template="/" /> If you have any questions or still need help, feel free to add a comment and would be happy to answer.

Hi, I am dynamically setting the backendurl from the request header using policies. Did not add the backendservice via UI for my api. Added <rewrite-uri template="/" /> line to not appending the operational name to backendurl. but still appending "/" to backendurl, Pls let know how to resolve this? <choose> <when condition="@(context.Variables.GetValueOrDefault<string>("backendUrl") != null && context.Variables.GetValueOrDefault<string>("httpMethod") != null)"> <set-backend-service base-url="@(context.Variables.GetValueOrDefault<string>("backendUrl"))" /> <set-method>@(context.Variables.GetValueOrDefault<string>("httpMethod"))</set-method> <rewrite-uri template="/" />
