Key-values
A key-value is a resource identified by unique combination of key
+ label
. label
is optional. To explicitly reference a key-value without a label, use "\0" (URL encoded as %00
). See details for each operation.
Operations
- Get
- List multiple
- Set
- Delete
Prerequisites
- All HTTP requests must be authenticated. See the authentication section.
- All HTTP requests must provide explicit
api-version
. See the versioning section.

Get (conditionally)
To improve client caching, use If-Match
or If-None-Match
request headers. The etag
argument is part of the key representation. For more information, see sections 14.24 and 14.26.
The following request retrieves the key-value only if the current representation doesn't match the specified etag
:
GET /kv/{key}?api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/vnd.microsoft.appconfig.kv+json;
If-None-Match: "{etag}"
Responses:
HTTP/1.1 304 NotModified
or
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
List key-values
Optional: key
(If not specified, it implies any key.)
Optional: label
(If not specified, it implies any label.)

GET /kv?label=*&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1

Optional: tags
(If not specified, it implies any tags.)

List key-values (conditionally)
To improve client caching, use If-Match
or If-None-Match
request headers. The etag
argument is part of the list key-values response body and header.
If If-Match
or If-None-Match
are omitted, the operation is unconditional.
The following response gets the key-value only if the current representation matches the specified etag
:
GET /kv?key={key}label={label}&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
If-Match: "4f6dd610dd5e4deebc7fbaef685fb903"
Responses:
HTTP/1.1 412 PreconditionFailed
or
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
The following response gets the key-values only if the current representation doesn't match the specified etag
:
GET /kv?key={key}label={label}&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
If-None-Match: "4f6dd610dd5e4deebc7fbaef685fb903"
Responses:
HTTP/1.1 304 NotModified
or
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Pagination
The result is paginated if the number of items returned exceeds the response limit. Follow the optional Link
response headers, and use rel="next"
for navigation.
Alternatively, the content provides a next link in form of the @nextLink
property. The linked URI includes the api-version
argument.
GET /kv?api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/vnd.microsoft.appconfig.kvs+json; charset=utf-8
Link: <{relative uri}>; rel="next"
{
"items": [
...
],
"@nextLink": "{relative uri}"
}
Filtering
A combination of key
and label
filtering is supported.
Use the optional key
and label
query string parameters.
GET /kv?key={key}&label={label}&api-version={api-version}
A combination of key
, label
, and tags
filtering is supported.
Use the optional key
, label
, and tags
query string parameters.
Multiple tag filters can be provided as query string parameters in the tagName=tagValue
format. Tag filters must be an exact match.
GET /kv?key={key}&label={label}&tags={tagFilter1}&tags={tagFilter2}&api-version={api-version}

tags=tag1=%00 |
Matches key-values that have a tag named tag1 with value null |
tags=tag1= |
Matches key-values that have a tag named tag1 with empty value |
Reserved characters
*
, \
, ,
If a reserved character is part of the value, then it must be escaped by using \{Reserved Character}
. Non-reserved characters can also be escaped.
Filter validation
If filter validation fails, the response is HTTP 400
with error details:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/problem+json; charset=utf-8
{
"type": "https://azconfig.io/errors/invalid-argument",
"title": "Invalid request parameter '{filter}'",
"name": "{filter}",
"detail": "{filter}(2): Invalid character",
"status": 400
}
Examples
All
GET /kv?api-version={api-version}
Key name starts with abc and includes all labels
GET /kv?key=abc*&label=*&api-version={api-version}
Key name starts with abc and label equals v1 or v2
GET /kv?key=abc*&label=v1,v2&api-version={api-version}
Request specific fields
Use the optional $select
query string parameter and provide a comma-separated list of requested fields. If the $select
parameter is omitted, the response contains the default set.
GET /kv?$select=key,value&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
Time-based access
Obtain a representation of the result as it was at a past time. For more information, see section 2.1.1. Pagination is still supported as defined earlier in this article.

Set key (conditionally)
To prevent race conditions, use If-Match
or If-None-Match
request headers. The etag
argument is part of the key representation.
If If-Match
or If-None-Match
are omitted, the operation is unconditional.
The following response updates the value only if the current representation matches the specified etag
:
PUT /kv/{key}?label={label}&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.microsoft.appconfig.kv+json
If-Match: "4f6dd610dd5e4deebc7fbaef685fb903"
The following response updates the value only if the current representation doesn't match the specified etag
:
PUT /kv/{key}?label={label}&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.microsoft.appconfig.kv+json;
If-None-Match: "4f6dd610dd5e4deebc7fbaef685fb903"
The following request adds the value only if a representation already exists:
PUT /kv/{key}?label={label}&api-version={api-version} HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.microsoft.appconfig.kv+json;
If-Match: "*"
The following request adds the value only if a representation doesn't already exist:
