There is no way to create a Subscription using this SDK.

There appears to be no way to create a subscription using the Azure SDK for GoLang.

Here is sample code I found to do something similar:

clientFactory, err := armapimanagement.NewClientFactory("<subscription-id>", cred, nil)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("failed to create client: %v", err)
}
res, err := clientFactory.NewSubscriptionClient().CreateOrUpdate(ctx, "rg1", "apimService1", "testsub", armapimanagement.SubscriptionCreateParameters{
    Properties: &armapimanagement.SubscriptionCreateParameterProperties{
        DisplayName: to.Ptr("testsub"),
        OwnerID:     to.Ptr("/subscriptions/subid/resourceGroups/rg1/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/apimService1/users/57127d485157a511ace86ae7"),
        Scope:       to.Ptr("/subscriptions/subid/resourceGroups/rg1/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/apimService1/products/5600b59475ff190048060002"),
    },
}, &armapimanagement.SubscriptionClientCreateOrUpdateOptions{Notify: nil,
    IfMatch: nil,
    AppType: nil,
})

However, this doesn't seem to work if the subscription doesn't already exist.

Since I want to create a brand new Subscription, what do I pass in for the first 3 arguments to CreateOrUpdate()?
It needs a resourceGroupName, a serviceName and an SID.

Those three values are used by CreateOrUpdate() to construct the following URL: urlPath := "/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/{serviceName}/subscriptions/{sid}"

@saqib-ali-cof could you turn on logging by setting environment variable AZURE_SDK_GO_LOGGING to all and configure policy.LogOption to print the body of this call? Please help to check the details info in the raw response.

@jliusan Perhaps I misunderstand you.

I can turn on logging, but what exactly do you want me to run?
I don't have code that will create an Azure Subscription, so turning on logging to find out more details about this non-existent code won't work

first, you need to have an api management service. then you could use this api to create new subscription. the first two parameter is the resource group and service name of your api management service, the third parameter is just a name for the new subscription you want to create.

@tadelesh thank you. But why do I need a Resource Group to create a subscription? Whats the relationship between the two? What if I don't have a resource group? Then I cannot create a subscription??

[tadelesh]

the resource group is where you create the api management service. it is only used to locate the api management service you use to create subscription. it is not related with the subscription you want to create.
