# azure-mgmt-maps — Microsoft Azure Maps Client Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 6.8M/mo

## What it is and what it does

Azure-mgmt-maps is the Microsoft Azure SDK for managing Maps resources on the control plane. It provides a Python client library to create, update, delete, and list Azure Maps accounts, creators, and related resources programmatically. The package wraps Azure's REST API behind a typed Python interface, handling authentication via Azure Active Directory and credential management through its runtime dependencies (isodate, azure-common, azure-mgmt-core, typing-extensions).

Typical use is in infrastructure-as-code, automation, or multi-tenant applications where you need to provision or reconfigure Maps services without manual Azure Portal interaction. The package is production-stable (version 2.1.0, released 2023-09-11) and actively maintained by Microsoft, with support for Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11.

Use it for:

- Automate provisioning of Azure Maps accounts in CI/CD pipelines or Infrastructure-as-Code workflows.
- Build multi-tenant SaaS applications that create isolated Maps resources per customer.
- Manage Maps account keys, CORS settings, and encryption configuration programmatically.
- List and monitor Maps operations and subscription-level activity across Azure resources.
- Integrate Maps resource lifecycle management into custom cloud management dashboards or tools.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Manages Azure Maps resources—accounts, creators, and operations—through Azure's control plane API, enabling programmatic provisioning and configuration of Maps services.

Yes. This package is the official, actively maintained Microsoft SDK for Azure Maps resource management. Install it if you need to programmatically provision, configure, or manage Azure Maps accounts and related resources. Low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, permissive MIT License, and stable API make it a straightforward choice for Azure-native workloads. Not needed if you only consume Maps data via data-plane APIs.

## Install

pip install azure-mgmt-maps
uv add azure-mgmt-maps
poetry add azure-mgmt-maps

## Installing azure-mgmt-maps

Before you install: Low friction: pure-Python wheel with four lightweight runtime dependencies. Actively maintained by Microsoft—last commit 2026-08-14, no known vulnerabilities, and supports Python 3.7+.

License in practice: MIT License permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart:

pip install azure-mgmt-maps

from azure.mgmt.maps import AzureMapsManagementClient
from azure.common import credentials
import os

sub_id = os.getenv("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID")
client = AzureMapsManagementClient(credential, subscription_id=sub_id)

Requires Azure subscription and environment variables AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, and AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID to be set for authentication.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package supports async operations (description mentions aio namespace but does not detail Maps-specific async API availability).
- Specific operations available on AccountsOperations, CreatorsOperations, and MapsOperations beyond those listed in release notes.
- Whether azure-identity is a required or optional dependency for authentication.
