is-6 margin-block-xs">In this article</h2> </nav><p>Use the <em>Microsoft Store submission API</em> to programmatically query and create submissions for apps, add-ons and package flights for your or your organization's Partner Center account. This API is useful if your account manages many apps or add-ons, and you want to automate and optimize the submission process for these assets. This API uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to authenticate the calls from your app or service.</p> <p>The following steps describe the end-to-end process of using the Microsoft Store submission API:</p> <ol> <li>Make sure that you have completed all the <a href="#prerequisites" data-linktype="self-bookmark">prerequisites</a>.</li> <li>Before you call a method in the Microsoft Store submission API, <a href="#obtain-an-azure-ad-access-token" data-linktype="self-bookmark">obtain an Azure AD access token</a>. After you obtain a token, you have 60 minutes to use this token in calls to the Microsoft Store submission API before the token expires. After the token expires, you can generate a new token.</li> <li><a href="#call-the-windows-store-submission-api" data-linktype="self-bookmark">Call the Microsoft Store submission API</a>.</li> </ol> <p><span id="not_supported"></span></p> <div class="IMPORTANT"> <p>Important</p> <p>If you use this API to create a submission for an app, package flight, or add-on, be sure to make further changes to the submission only by using the API, rather than in Partner Center. If you use Partner Center to change a submission that you originally created by using the API, you will no longer be able to change or commit that submission by using the API. In some cases, the submission could be left in an error state where it cannot proceed in the submission process. If this occurs, you must delete the submission and create a new submission.</p> </div> <div class="IMPORTANT"> <p>Important</p> <p>You cannot use this API to publish submissions for <a href="/en-us/windows/apps/publish/organizational-licensing" data-linktype="absolute-path">volume purchases through the Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education</a> or to publish submissions for <a href="/en-us/windows/apps/publish/distribute-lob-apps-to-enterprises" data-linktype="absolute-path">LOB apps</a> directly to enterprises. For both of these scenarios, you must use publish the submission in Partner Center.</p> </div> <div class="NOTE"> <p>Note</p> <p>This API cannot be used with apps or add-ons that use mandatory app updates and Store-managed consumable add-ons. If you use the Microsoft Store submission API with an app or add-on that uses one of these features, the API will return a 409 error code. In this case, you must use Partner Center to manage the submissions for the app or add-on.</p> </div> <div class="NOTE"> <p>Note</p> <p>You can't use this API with apps or add-ons that are on Pricing Version 2. A product is on Pricing Version 2 if there's a <strong>Review price per market</strong> button in the <strong>Pricing</strong> section of the <strong>Pricing and availability</strong> page. If you use the Microsoft Store submission API with an app or add-on that's on Pricing Version 2, then the API will return an unknown tier for the pricing part. You can continue using this API to update modules other than <strong>Pricing and availability</strong>.</p> </div> <p><span id="prerequisites"></span></p> <h2 id="step-1-complete-prerequisites-for-using-the-microsoft-store-submission-api">Step 1: Complete prerequisites for using the Microsoft Store submission API</h2> <p>Before you start writing code to call the Microsoft Store submission API, make sure that you have completed the following prerequisites.</p> <ul> <li><p>You (or your organization) must have an Azure AD directory and you must have <a href="/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-assign-admin-roles" data-linktype="absolute-path">Global administrator</a> permission for the directory. If you already use Microsoft 365 or other business services from Microsoft, you already have Azure AD directory. Otherwise, you can <a href="/en-us/windows/apps/publish/partner-center/create-new-azure-ad-tenant" data-linktype="absolute-path">create a new Azure AD in Partner Center</a> for no additional charge.</p> </li> <li><p>You must <a href="#associate-an-azure-ad-application-with-your-windows-partner-center-account" data-linktype="self-bookmark">associate an Azure AD application with your Partner Center account</a> and obtain your tenant ID, client ID and key. You need these values to obtain an Azure AD access token, which you will use in calls to the Microsoft Store submission API.</p> </li> <li><p>Prepare your app for use with the Microsoft Store submission API:</p> <ul> <li><p>If your app does not yet exist in Partner Center, you must <a href="/en-us/windows/apps/publish/publish-your-app/reserve-your-apps-name?pivots=store-installer-msix" data-linktype="absolute-path">create your app by reserving its name in Partner Center</a>. You cannot use the Microsoft Store submission API to create an app in Partner Center; you must work in Partner Center to create it, and then after that you can use the API to access the app and programmatically create submissions for it. However, you can use the API to programmatically create add-ons and package flights before you create submissions for them.</p> </li> <li><p>Before you can create a submission for a given app using this API, you must first <a href="/en-us/windows/apps/publish/publish-your-app/create-app-submission?pivots=store-installer-msix" data-linktype="absolute-path">create one submission for the app in Partner Center</a>, including answering the <a href="/en-us/windows/apps/publish/publish-your-app/age-ratings?pivots=store-installer-msix" data-linktype="absolute-path">age ratings</a> questionnaire. After you do this, you will be able to programmatically create new submissions for this app using the API.

The Azure AD application represents the app or service from which you want to call the Microsoft Store submission API. You need the tenant ID, client ID and key to obtain an Azure AD access token that you pass to the API.</p> <div class="NOTE"> <p>Note</p> <p>You only need to perform this task one time.

After you obtain an access token, you have 60 minutes to use it before it expires. After the token expires, you can refresh the token so you can continue to use it in further calls to the API.</p> <p>To obtain the access token, follow the instructions in <a href="/en-us/azure/active-directory/azuread-dev/v1-oauth2-client-creds-grant-flow" data-linktype="absolute-path">Service to Service Calls Using Client Credentials</a> to send an HTTP POST to the <code>https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_id>/oauth2/token</code> endpoint.

The API includes many methods that are grouped into scenarios for apps, add-ons, and package flights. To create or update submissions, you typically call multiple methods in the Microsoft Store submission API in a specific order. For information about each scenario and the syntax of each method, see the articles in the following table.</p> <div class="NOTE"> <p>Note</p> <p>After you obtain an access token, you have 60 minutes to call methods in the Microsoft Store submission API before the token expires.</p> </div> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Scenario</th> <th>Description</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Apps</td> <td>Retrieve data for all the apps that are registered to your Partner Center account and create submissions for apps.
