Hello developers,

We listened to your feedback, and we are happy to announce that we are bringing REST API to help you automate the process of uploading and publishing Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

Overview

Microsoft Edge Add-ons API will provide a set of REST endpoints for programmatically publishing updates to extensions submitted to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website. The tentative date for the availability of the API is December 2021.

What functionalities does this API provide?

This API exposes endpoints to help you –

1. Get a list of Microsoft Edge add-ons associated with your account.
2. Update the package to update an existing draft submission of an add-on product.
3. Publish the current draft of the product to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website.

How to use Microsoft Edge Add-ons API?

To use the Microsoft Edge Add-ons API, you will enable the API for your project in the Microsoft Partner Center. Once enabled you will have the Client ID, Client Secret and the Auth token URL.

You can then proceed to use these credentials to get your access token for using the APIs. Once you have the token, you will be ready to use the API.
