Introducing the plugin marketplace for Azure API Center
Today, we're excited to announce the public preview of the plugin marketplace endpoint for Azure API Center. This new capability makes it easier than ever for developers to discover and install AI plugins — including MCP servers and skills — directly from the tools they already use, like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI. The problem we're solving As AI plugins and MCP servers become core parts of the developer workflow, teams have struggled with a fundamental challenge: there's no central, governed place to find and manage them. Developers hunt through documentation, Teams messages, and wikis — and platform teams have no reliable way to ensure the right plugins are being used. Azure API Center has built the plugin marketplace to fix this issue What's new When you register plugins in your API Center inventory and enable the API Center portal, we now automatically provision a marketplace.git endpoint at your data plane URL: Your marketplace endpoint is https://<service>.data.<region>.azure-apicenter.ms/workspaces/default/plugins/marketplace.git This endpoint serves as a live, version-controlled catalog of every plugin in your API Center — with metadata, configuration, and install instructions ready for developer tools to consume. Get up and running in seconds We've designed the experience to be as frictionless as possible. Developers can add your organization's marketplace and start installing plugins with just two commands: In Claude Code /plugin marketplace add <url> /plugin install plugin-name@myapicenter In GitHub Copilot CLI /plugin marketplace add <url> /plugin marketplace browse myapicenter Enterprise-ready from day one The plugin marketplace isn't just convenient — it's governed. Access to the marketplace endpoint inherits the same authentication model you configured for your API Center portal, so your security and compliance posture stays intact. Platform teams remain in full control of what gets published; developers get a seamless, trusted source of truth. Documentation To learn more click here
Is there a way to get live transcript in Microsoft Teams?
I am trying to find a way in Microsoft Teams to get the live transcript, I want to be able to subscribe to a meeting/call that it is still running and to get the transcript from it. I understand that there is an Graph API that allows me to get the transcript for a meeting/call that ended, but that's not what I need. I am alright even with faking the subscription and do a HTTP call every 2-5/seconds. After I get the transcript I would like to do some live processing on the text. I am aware that I can connect a bot to a meeting/call and then the bot can interact with the audio stream and use Azure AI Speech Service to convert the Speech-To-Text and get the live text. I found a sample in Microsoft Github repos: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-comms-samples/tree/master/Samples/PublicSamples/EchoBot This is a good solution, but if possible I would like to do be able to do one of the following, if possible: get the transcript without a bot that needs to be connected to a session. connect a bot that can interact with the live transcript in order to get all additional metadata, like speaker name.
Migrate Data Ingestion from Data Collector to Log Ingestion
HTTP Data Collector API in Log Analytics workspaces is being deprecated, and will be totally out of support in September 2026. Data Collector actions in logic app using already created API connections (which uses workspace Id & Key) would still work against old custom log tables, however, newly created table will not be able to ingest data, although the connector would still succeed in logic app, but no data will be populated in newly created custom logs. In case new API connection is created for Data Collector action (using workspace Id & Key); these will fail with 403 - Forbidden action. Users should start using the Log Ingestion API to send data to custom tables, and this document will guide users on how to use Log Ingestion API in logic apps. Note: Azure portal currently is update so it doesn't show the Workspace keys in Log Analytics workspace page, however, Az CLI will still get the keys, but as stated, actions will fail with 403 when using them in Data Collector Action. Creating DCE & DCRs: To utilize the Log Ingestion API, Data Collection Endpoint & Data Collection Rule should be created first. DCE Creation is simple, from azure portal search for DCE, and then create a new one: For DCR creation, it can be either created from the DCR page in Azure Portal, or upon creating the custom log in Log Analytics workspace. DCR Popup You need to upload sample data file, so the custom log table has a schema, it needs to be JSON array. In case the sample log doesn't have a TimeGenerated field, you can easily add it using the mapping function as below: Add the below code in the Transformation box, then click run. Once you complete the DCR creation, we need to get the DCE full endpoint. Getting DCE Log Ingestion Full URL To get the full endpoint URL, please follow the below: 1. Get the DCE Log Ingestion URL from the DCE overview page: 2. On the DCR Page, get the immutable id for the DCR., then click on the JSON view of the DCR resource: 3. From the JSON view, get the stream name from the streamDeclarations field Now the full Log Ingestion URL is: DCE_URL/dataCollectionRules/{immutable_id}/streams/{streamName}?api-version=2023-01-01 It would be similar to: https://mshbou****.westeurope-1.ingest.monitor.azure.com/dataCollectionRules/dcr-7*****4e988bef2995cd52ae/streams/Custom-mshboulLogAPI_CL?api-version=2023-01-01 Granting Logic App MI needed IAM Roles: To call the ingestion endpoint using Logic Apps MI, we need to grant logic apps MI the role "Monitoring Metrics Publisher" over the DCR resource. To do this, open the DCR, from the blade choose Access Control (IAM), and then grant the logic app MI the role "Monitoring Metrics Publisher" Calling Log Ingestion Endpoint from logic apps: To call the ingestion endpoint from logic apps, we need to use the HTTP action, as below, the URI is the full DCE Endpoint we created before. Add the content-type headers, and the json body that contains the log data you want to send. For the authentication, it will be as below: Once executed, it should succeed, with status code 204. For more details on the Log Ingestion API, and the migration, please see our documentation: Migrate from the HTTP Data Collector API to the Log Ingestion API - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn Logs Ingestion API in Azure Monitor - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn Thanks.
Purview Graph API
Hello. I'm trying to find information on the Purview Graph API and it's endpoints. It looks like the endpoints aren't posted publicly and are listed within an admin console. Can someone help me with how to view the endpoints? Also, are the graph API endpoints capable of reading and creating assets into Purview?Unable to use MS Graph DLP Api's to use with my Entra Registered App
In purview, I have set of policies in DLP, where I have registered to block the US SSN in the text contents and I have created different policies in all of them I have selected the available locations: Exchange email - All accounts SharePoint sites OneDrive accounts - All accounts Teams chat and channel messages - All accounts Devices - All accounts Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps On-premises repositories And selected action as block all, in all of them for the rule and enabled the rule (not in simulation mode) Now, I have the app registered in Entra and I try to use the following API's https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/userprotectionscopecontainer-compute?view=graph-rest-1.0 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/userdatasecurityandgovernance-processcontent?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http But whenever I use the compute api I can see i'm only getting curl -X POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/5fd51e08-c5f1-4298-b79b-a357eaa414ff/dataSecurityAndGovernance/protectionScopes/compute\ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'\ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "activities": "uploadText,downloadText" }' { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.policyUserScope)", "value": [ { "activities": "uploadText,downloadText", "executionMode": "evaluateOffline", "locations": [ { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.policyLocationApplication", "value": "b48106d9-1cdb-4d90-9485-fe2b6ee78acf" } ], "policyActions": [] } ] } My sample App's Id is showing up but always with `evaluateOffline` I don't know why it always gives 'evaluteOffline' and policyActions is always empty array Also, I can see my Entra registered app is showing up here in the value of the locations And when I use the processContent api , I always get modified in the response and nothing else like below: curl -XPOST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/5fd51e08-c5f1-4298-b79b-a357eaa414ff/dataSecurityAndGovernance/processContent \ -H 'Authorization: <ACCESS TOKEN>'\ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "contentToProcess": { "contentEntries": [ { "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.processConversationMetadata", "identifier": "07785517-9081-4fe7-a9dc-85bcdf5e9075", "content": { "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.textContent", "data": "Please process this application for John VSmith, his SSN is 121-98-1437 and credit card number is 4532667785213500" }, "name": "Postman message", "correlationId": "d63eafd2-e3a9-4c1a-b726-a2e9b9d9580d", "sequenceNumber": 0, "isTruncated": false, "createdDateTime": "2026-04-06T00:23:20", "modifiedDateTime": "2026-04-06T00:23:20" } ], "activityMetadata": { "activity": "uploadText" }, "deviceMetadata": { "operatingSystemSpecifications": { "operatingSystemPlatform": "Windows 11", "operatingSystemVersion": "10.0.26100.0" }, "ipAddress": "127.0.0.1" }, "protectedAppMetadata": { "name": "Postman", "version": "1.0", "applicationLocation": { "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.policyLocationApplication", "value": "b48106d9-1cdb-4d90-9485-fe2b6ee78acf" } }, "integratedAppMetadata": { "name": "Postman", "version": "1.0" } } }' In the above request I have mentioned some sample US Security SSN, but the response I get is { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#microsoft.graph.processContentResponse", "protectionScopeState": "notModified", "policyActions": [], "processingErrors": [] } But Ideally I want to see whether I can get the content is valid or not, for example in the above request, it has SSN, so ideally I should get restrictAction or something right? Or is that evaluateInline is not available or something? Note that I have purchased E5 and assigned to the user who is trying this Also, whenever I choose to create a Policy in DLP , I got two options And Lets say I choose "Enterprise applications & devices", what happens is in the Locations, I'm seeing only these as the options: And If I choose the "Inline Traffic", i'm seeing only these options In Unmanaged, I'm seeing the following And in the Enforcement Options, I have the following : And in the "Advanced DLP rules" I'm seeing only these So, can you tell me the exact steps in the Purview suite, I couldn't where to mention the Entra registered App, I searched and I couldn't find one But in the compute endpoint, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/userprotectionscopecontainer-compute?view=graph-rest-1.0 I'm getting my app but only with "evaluateOffline" and with that ETag, If I use the processContent Api, its not giving anything except as I mentioned above in the postIntroducing Skills in Azure API Center
The problem Modern applications depend on more than APIs. A single AI workflow might call an LLM, invoke an MCP tool, integrate a third-party service, and reference a business capability spanning dozens of endpoints. Without a central inventory, these assets become impossible to discover, easy to duplicate, and painful to govern. Azure API Center — part of the Azure API Management platform — already catalogs models, agents, and MCP servers alongside traditional APIs. Skills extend that foundation to cover reusable AI capabilities. What is a Skill? As AI agents become more capable, organizations need a way to define and govern what those agents can actually do. Skills are the answer. A Skill in Azure API Center is a reusable, registered capability that AI agents can discover and consume to extend their functionality. Each skill is backed by source code — typically hosted in a Git repository — and describes what it does, what APIs or MCP servers it can access, and who owns it. Think of skills as the building blocks of AI agent behavior, promoted into a governed inventory alongside your APIs, MCP servers, models, and agents. Example: A "Code Review Skill" performs automated code reviews using static analysis. It is registered in API Center with a Source URL pointing to its GitHub repo, allowed to access your code analysis API, and discoverable by any AI agent in your organization. How Skills work in API Center Skills can be added to your inventory in two ways: registered manually through the Azure portal, or synchronized automatically from a connected Git repository. Both approaches end up in the same governed catalog, discoverable through the API Center portal. Option 1: Register a Skill manually Use the Azure portal to register a skill directly. Navigate to Inventory > Assets in your API center, select + Register an asset > Skill, and fill in the registration form. Figure 2: Register a skill form in the Azure portal. The form captures everything needed to make a skill discoverable and governable: Field Description Title Display name for the skill (e.g. Code Review Skill). Identification Auto-generated URL slug based on the title. Editable. Summary One-line description of what the skill does. Description Full detail on capabilities, use cases, and expected behavior. Lifecycle stage Current state: Design, Preview, Production, or Deprecated. Source URL Git repository URL for the skill source code. Allowed tools The APIs or MCP servers from your inventory this skill is permitted to access. Enforces governance at the capability level. License Licensing terms: MIT, Apache 2.0, Proprietary, etc. Contact information Owner or support contact for the skill. Governance note: The Allowed tools field is key for AI governance. It explicitly defines which APIs and MCP servers a skill can invoke — preventing uncontrolled access and making security review straightforward. Option 2: Sync Skills from a Git repository For teams managing skills in source control, API Center can integrate directly with a Git repository and synchronize skill information automatically. This is the recommended approach for teams practicing GitOps or managing many skills at scale. Figure 3: Integrating a Git repository to sync skills automatically into API Center. When you configure a Git integration, API Center: Creates an Environment representing the repository as a source of skills Scans for files matching the configured pattern (default: **/skill.md) Syncs matching skills into your inventory and keeps them current as the repo changes For private repositories, a Personal Access Token (PAT) stored in Azure Key Vault is used for authentication. API Center's managed identity retrieves the PAT securely — no credentials are stored in the service itself. Tip: Use the Automatically configure managed identity and assign permissions option when setting up the integration if you haven't pre-configured a managed identity. API Center handles the Key Vault permissions automatically. Discovering Skills in your catalog Once registered — manually or via Git — skills appear in the Inventory > Assets page alongside all other asset types. Linked skills (synced from Git) are visually identified with a link icon, so teams can see at a glance which skills are source-controlled. From the API Center portal, developers and other stakeholders can browse the full skill catalog, filter by lifecycle stage or type, and view detailed information about each skill — including its source URL, allowed tools, and contact information. Figure 4: Skills catalog in API Center portal, showing registered skills and the details related to the skill. Developer experience: The API Center portal gives teams a self-service way to discover approved skills without needing to ask around or search GitHub. The catalog becomes the authoritative source of what's available and what's allowed. Why this matters for AI development teams Skills close a critical gap in AI governance. As organizations deploy AI agents, they need to know — and control — what those agents can do. Without a governed skill registry, capability discovery is ad hoc, reuse is low, and security review is difficult. By bringing skills into Azure API Center alongside APIs, MCP servers, models, and agents, teams get: A single inventory for all the assets AI agents depend on Explicit governance over which resources each skill can access via Allowed tools Automated, source-controlled skill registration via Git integration Discoverability for developers and AI systems through the API Center portal Consistent lifecycle management — Design through Production to Deprecated API Center, as part of the Azure API Management platform and the broader AI Gateway vision, is evolving into the system of record for AI-ready development. Skills are the latest step in that direction. Available now Skills are available today in Azure API Center (preview). To register your first skill: Sign in to the Azure portal and navigate to your API Center instance In the sidebar, select Inventory > Assets Select + Register an asset > Skill Fill in the registration form and select Create → Register and discover skills in Azure API Center (docs) → Set up your API Center portal → Explore the Azure API Management platformSlow UI update for deleted events
I've built an integration that continuously syncs events between an external scheduling system and Exchange Online using Microsoft Graph. I'm observing a recurring issue when deleting calendar events via Graph: A DELETE request to Graph returns success (204 No Content). A subsequent GET /events/{id} returns 404, confirming the event is deleted server-side. However, the event continues to appear in the Outlook UI (both Outlook Web and desktop) for an extended period (sometimes hours), even after page reloads or app restarts. The odd behaviour The event is still displayed in the user interface for up to several hours The event persist through page reloads If the user clicks the event it opens briefly and immediately closes, the event disappears from the UI afterward. Additional details Delete endpoint: /users/{id}/events/{id} Graph response: 204 No Content Verified deletion via GET → 404 Reproduces in both Outlook Web and Outlook desktop Questions Is this a known Outlook client caching or calendar view indexing issue? Is there a way to force client reconciliation after deletes? Are there Graph or Exchange constraints around rapid create/update/delete cycles that could cause this UI inconsistency?
