Hi community, on my current project we want to call AWX REST Api, however the requirement is to use Azure API Management as proxy. Is there somewhere AWX openapi yaml file that I can download and import into Azure APIM? Currently, AWX REST Api has over 100 resources, I don’t want to write yaml if I don’t have to. Why is it so difficult to find AWX openapi spec to download? Thanks ---

You can grab a copy of our API in json format from `curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/awx-public-ci-files/devel/schema.json -o reference-schema.json` this was generated via `make swagger` It _should_ be compatible with openapi spec, let us know if you run into issues We are going to update [https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/latest/](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/latest/) with a browsable version of our API AWX Team ---

Fosterseth has pointed at the api in json format, But wanted to point to a few resources depending on what you are doing If using in a playbook, use awx.awx/ansible.controller modules, as they interact with the API and you don’t have to write for it. If you are doing python or other coding to interact with the API, I’d check out the code as it is a good resource for how to interact efficiently. If you are configuring many things in a playbook, I’d look at the infra.controller\_configuration collection as well, as it wraps around the above modules. ---

Marvelous Seth, thank you so much for this. I needed to do some cleanup, but I managed to import into Azure API Management. ---
