i'm wondering if there is any way to export the Publisher portal in azure api management to a power bi dashboard?
APIM does have a REST API that supports ODATA queries. This should be compatible with PowerBI. You can enable REST API in Security section in APIM publisher portal.
Since you're interested in reporting data you could start here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/apimanagement/reports

The requirement is that Purview scans the PowerBI to fetch a few details from Power BI. Can this is something achieved by managed identity or service principle?
Note, as per Microsoft Azure service account is an old way of doing things. So the recommendation is to use managed identity or service principle. But, didn't get any documentation to achieve this.
This is the official documentation:
Connect to and manage a Power BI tenant in Microsoft Purview (Same Tenant)
Connect to and manage a Power BI tenant in Microsoft Purview (cross-tenant)
Troubleshoot Power BI tenant scans in Microsoft Purview
Hope this help.
I am new to Azure and have been going through various tutorials.
I am looking specifically at Azure Monitoring using REST APIs.
What I am trying to do is get the status of various resources like Virtual Networks, AD, Load Balancers etc on a custom dashboard using REST APIs.
I have found some list of REST APIs that allow monitoring here(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/monitor/)
But do they provide Resource health and Status.Also, do i have a create a new Service API Managament Resource(which is a paid resource) in the Azure Account for these APIs to run?.
Please let me know if you have any insights or reference materials on this
I don't think rest API is good for monitoring. I will suggest use Azure Monitor service under that you can use Azure resource metrics, Activity logs and service health. based on these metrics and logs you can set alert and show live data on the dashboard.
We are using Microsoft OMS for live monitoring (visualization of data) and Email/SMS for notification.

Audit and receive notifications about important actions in your Azure subscription
In Azure portal, i wanted to create multiple useraccounts and then track those useraccounts for the data usage in Azure API management service. I can able to create the useraccounts but inorder to know how much data is used by those users for particular API, how can i get that metrics?
API Management has 2 portals and 2 types of users. The Azure Portal is used for API Managers (think users who publish APIs, operations, manage policy, etc.). The Developer Portal is used by developers who are using (think customers) of your API. In order to use an API the user/customer has to register with the Developer Portal and get a Subscription to a given API and the associated key. So you have to authenticate them.
The Developer Portal supports different authentication mechanisms including Azure AD. So if you plan to use Azure AD for your authentication for both portals you will need to configure it accordingly. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-aad
fwiw - by default the Developer portal provides a form based authentication for developers
Metric wise once a developer is registered you will be able to report on their activity through API Management.
This may be a silly question but here we go: "Is there a way to access the Azure WebApp MONITOR Chart (see below) and embed it into my website?".
Azure Insights REST API provides Microsoft Azure Insights operations using Resource Manager. Insights includes a unified API to retrieve monitoring metrics and operational events for all of the Azure resources that are available in Azure Resource Manager.
Azure Insights REST API Reference
For C# .NET SDK for Azure Insights, you can look into: Microsoft Azure Insights Library
Microsoft Azure Insights Library
I have an application running on the Azure cloud.
Currently this is deployed as an Azure web app.
Is there any way to monitor the website status and build a page like this or this?
As you can see in those examples both have:
a service global status
An historical status which is grouped in hour/day/months period
Does azure has an API that I can use to monitor my services?
Application Insights and the Azure portal will give you a rich monitoring and diagnostics experience for your web app. It is in preview at this time.
You can get very granular data points or high-level graphs and trends. The historical data can go back as far as 13 months for aggregated data points. You can read more about the data retention policy here.
The Azure portal (the new one at portal.azure.com) gives you a rich UI to interact with the telemetry data from your app. And if you want to customize a blade to view specific data for your app you can do that too.
Azure Web Apps also has built-in monitoring support that you can use. It won't give you the depth that Application Insights does but you should look at this too to see if it will give you the data you need. And of course, you can customize the monitoring blades in the Azure portal to suit your needs.
Azure does offer a robust RESTFul API for managing and monitoring your services. Essentially anything you can do through the Azure Management Portal is accessible via an API, including analytics. The portal itself often uses this same API.

You can also use MSFT authored .NET assemblies to create your own monitoring applications in Visual Studio. I find the monitoring and analytics features more robust via this model. These are available on GitHub:
