Question

PS we are no way can use Azure git repository as we mirror it from other repo.

Answer 1

If you were relying on "Unlimnited" product created by default with APIM service, then it's nothing special, really. Just open "Products" screen and create a new product, can even call it "Unlimited" again. Products themselves are nothing special, you can create as many as you want: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-add-products .

The only thing to keep in mind that every product has it's own subscriptions. If you delete product, it's subscriptions along with subscription keys are gone. So when you recreate product you'll have to resubscribe all users to this new product, and then distribute new subscriptions keys. Alternatively, if you have access to subscription keys that were used before, you can create new subscriptions with same keys via API or SDK.

There is no way to recover the deleted products, unleash you have backup process ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-disaster-recovery-backup-restore ) or Azure git repository.If you don't have any other product or APIs configured on APIM, then delete the APIM and create again. If not, please follow the standard way to maintain APIs on APIM, (I can recommend this) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-add-products https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-policies
