# azure-mgmt-web — Microsoft Azure Web Management Client Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 8.2M/mo

## What it is and what it does

azure-mgmt-web is the Microsoft Azure SDK client library for managing Web Apps and related App Service resources. It wraps the Azure Resource Manager API, allowing Python developers to programmatically create, update, delete, and query web applications, app service plans, deployment slots, certificates, and other hosting infrastructure within Azure subscriptions.

The package is designed for developers who need to automate Azure web hosting operations—provisioning environments, configuring deployments, managing scaling policies, or integrating web app lifecycle management into larger infrastructure-as-code workflows. It depends on isodate for date handling, azure-mgmt-core for common SDK patterns, and typing-extensions for type hints. Authentication requires Microsoft Entra token configuration via environment variables.

Use it for:

- Automate provisioning and teardown of web app environments in CI/CD pipelines
- Programmatically manage deployment slots and traffic routing for blue-green deployments
- Query and monitor app service plan metrics and resource utilization across subscriptions
- Configure SSL certificates, custom domains, and authentication settings on web apps at scale
- Integrate web app lifecycle management into infrastructure-as-code or multi-tenant SaaS platforms

## Worth the install?

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

Provides programmatic management of Azure Web Apps, App Service Plans, and related hosting resources through the Azure SDK for Python.

Yes. This is an actively maintained, production-stable library (Development Status 5) with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and broad Python version support (3.10–3.14). Install it if you need to manage Azure Web Apps programmatically; skip it if you only use the Azure Portal or CLI.

## Install

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

## Installing azure-mgmt-web

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Actively maintained with a recent release 32 days old and no known vulnerabilities. Requires Python 3.10+.

License in practice: MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install azure-mgmt-web

from azure.mgmt.web import WebSiteManagementClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

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

Requires Python 3.10+, valid Azure subscription, and environment variables AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, and AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID configured for authentication.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works offline or requires live Azure API connectivity
- Performance characteristics when managing large numbers of web apps
- Specific authentication flow requirements beyond environment variable configuration
