"One or more fields contain incorrect values" error while creating new API through apimanagement python sdk

Describe the bug We are trying to use apimanagement python sdk to automate api deployment into api management service over azure. Using apimanagement v 0.2.0.

Using following configs and code to create a simple test api using sdk and its throwing “One or more fields contain incorrect values” error. It doesn’t tell us which fields are incorrect, making it harder to debug.

apim_client = azure.mgmt.apimanagement.ApiManagementClient(credentials=credentials, subscription_id=subscription_id)

api_create_or_update_parameters = azure.mgmt.apimanagement.models.ApiCreateOrUpdateParameter(
    description="AI reserve deployed sample api",
    authentication_settings = None,
    subscription_key_parameter_names = None,
    api_type = None,
    api_revision= "1",
    api_version= None,
    is_current= True,
    is_online= None,
    api_revision_description= None,
    api_version_description= None,
    api_version_set_id= None,
    subscription_required= True,
    source_api_id= None,
    display_name= "Sample API",
    service_url= "https://conferenceapi.azurewebsites.net",
    path= 'sample',
    protocols= ['https'],
    api_version_set= None,
    value= "sample_test",
    format="openapi"
)

deployed_api_response = apim_client.api.create_or_update( resource_group_name, apim_service_name, "test-api", api_create_or_update_parameters)
print(deployed_api_response.result())

@KedarJoshi I didn’t quite understand it. What is the expected value for “value” field?

I just commented the “value” field out and I was able to create the api in apim. However, it doesn’t import all the operations automatically.
