azure-mgmt-resource-subscriptions

What it is and what it does

This is Microsoft's official Python client library for managing Azure subscriptions and their properties. It wraps the Azure Resource Manager API, allowing you to query subscription details, list locations, and perform subscription-level operations programmatically. The package depends on isodate, azure-mgmt-core, and typing-extensions, and requires Python 3.10 or later.

The library uses Microsoft Entra for authentication via environment variables. It reached general availability in version 1.0.0 after beta releases that introduced hybrid models and breaking changes to error handling. The package is actively maintained by Microsoft, with recent commits and no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

• Enumerate all subscriptions and their properties within an Azure tenant for billing or compliance audits
• Retrieve available Azure regions and location metadata for a subscription programmatically
• Automate subscription-level operations as part of infrastructure-as-code or cloud management workflows
• Build multi-tenant Azure applications that need to query subscription details across customer accounts

Quickstart

pip install azure-mgmt-resource-subscriptions

from azure.mgmt.resource.subscriptions import SubscriptionClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

client = SubscriptionClient(credential=DefaultAzureCredential())

Requires Python 3.10+. Azure authentication requires AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, and AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables to be set.

Verify before relying

• Specific subscription operations and methods available beyond SubscriptionClient instantiation
• Whether list_locations and other operations are documented with examples in the package itself
• Full scope of subscription-level operations supported by SubscriptionClient
