Creating dynamic block in azurerm_api_management_api terraform - terraform

Question

I am trying to create APIs with certain inputs dynamically into an APIM instance in azure. For that I have created a resource azurerm_api_management_api, to which I am going to pass the values like name, version, display name dynamically from a local.tf file. But when I tried, the error was
Error: Unsupported block type
│
│ on api-management\api_management_api.tf line 6, in resource "azurerm_api_management_api" "apim_api":
│ 6: dynamic apiValues{
│
│ Blocks of type "apiValues" are not expected here.
Here is the resource block.
resource "azurerm_api_management_api" "apim_api" {
revision = "1"
resource_group_name = var.resource_group_name
api_management_name = azurerm_api_management.apim.name
dynamic apiValues{
for_each = local.apiDetails
content{
name = apiValues.value.name
display_name = apiValues.value.display_name
path = ""
protocols = ["http","https"]
service_url = "http://spring-boot-redis.azurewebsites.net"
import {
content_format = "openapi-link"
content_value = "./SpringBootRedis.yaml"
}
}
}
}
locals.tf
locals {
apiDetails = [
{
name = "spring-boot-redis"
display_name = "Spring Boot Redis"
}
]
}
Is there any other way to achieve this? As I am planning to put this on an azure pipeline. So that I have to only take care of the API specification and names.

I am unsure why you are attempting to use a dynamic block for a block that does not exist according to the documentation. The error message agrees the block does not exist in the resource schema.
It appears what you are trying to achieve here is multiple resources with a value from a local.apiDetails:
resource "azurerm_api_management_api" "apim_api" {
for_each = local.apiDetails
revision = "1"
resource_group_name = var.resource_group_name
api_management_name = azurerm_api_management.apim.name
name = each.value.name
display_name = each.value.display_name
path = ""
protocols = ["http","https"]
service_url = "http://spring-boot-redis.azurewebsites.net"
import {
content_format = "openapi-link"
content_value = "./SpringBootRedis.yaml"
}
}
The documentation has more information.
