Use these REST APIs for managing OAuth2 servers configuration in your Azure API Management deployment. OAuth 2.0 can be used to authorize developer accounts for Azure API Management. For more information refer to [How to OAuth2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-oauth2).
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Backend entity in Azure API Management deployment. The Backend entity in API Management represents a backend service that is configured to skip certification chain validation when using a self-signed certificate to test mutual certificate authentication.
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Cache entity in your Azure API Management deployment. Azure API Management also allows for caching responses in an external Azure Cache for Redis. For more information refer to [External Redis Cache in ApiManagement](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-cache-external).
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Certificate entity in your Azure API Management deployment. Certificates can be used to setup mutual authentication with your Backend in API Management. For more information refer to [How to secure backend using Mutual Auth Certificate](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-mutual-certificates).
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Group entity in your Azure API Management deployment. Groups are used to manage the visibility of products to developers. Each API Management service instance comes with the following immutable system groups whose membership is automatically managed by API Management. - **Administrators** - Azure subscription administrators are members of this group. - **Developers** - Authenticated developer portal users fall into this group. - **Guests** - Unauthenticated developer portal users are placed into this group. In addition to these system groups, administrators can create custom groups or [leverage external groups in associated Azure Active Directory tenants](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-aad#how-to-add-an-external-azure-active-directory-group). Custom and external groups can be used alongside system groups in giving developers visibility and access to API products. For example, you could create one custom group for developers affiliated with a specific partner organization and allow them access to the APIs from a product containing relevant APIs only. A user can be a member of more than one group.
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on NamedValue entity associated with your Azure API Management deployment. API Management policies are a powerful capability of the system that allow the publisher to change the behavior of the API through configuration. Policies are a collection of statements that are executed sequentially on the request or response of an API. Policy statements can be constructed using literal text values, policy expressions, and NamedValues. Each API Management service instance has a NamedValues collection of key/value pairs that are global to the service instance. These NamedValues can be used to manage constant string values across all API configuration and policies.
Use these REST APIs for getting the network connectivity status of your Azure API Management deployment. When the API Management service is deployed inside a Virtual Network, it needs to have access to other Azure resources it depends on. This also gives details about the DNS Servers visible to Azure API Management deployment.
