Is there an API to list all Azure Regions?

This is an old question and already have an accepted answer. But given there have been few changes in Azure Modules hence adding the latest command here.

I do not think the API for location still exists. But with latest version of Powershell Az module you can fetch the locations

Get-AzLocation | select DisplayName, Location | Format-Table

This gives you some freedom to select the property you need and format the output in tabular format. The AZ CLI command still remains the same as above.


A possible solution using powershell script would be to parse the response from the URL: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/regions/. Using this, you could get the information about newly announced regions.

If you do not mind using Java or C#, then the below solutions are handy as well.

  1. For region list in java, the dependency in maven is azure-mgmt-resources located at https://github.com/Azure/azure-libraries-for-java/tree/master/azure-mgmt-resources. Documentation: https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-java/com/microsoft/azure/management/resources/fluentcore/arm/Region.html

  2. In case you are using c#, the dependency in nuget is Microsoft.Azure.Management.ResourceManager.Fluent. And for reference, the Source Code URL: https://github.com/Azure/azure-libraries-for-net/blob/master/src/ResourceManagement/ResourceManager/Region.cs


Get-AzureRMLocation will give you the list of locations for your account/tenant/subscription that you run it against.

From the answer below, this works perfectly with the newer version of Azure PS!

Get-AzLocation | select DisplayName, Location | Format-Table

az account list-locations -o table

will give you a table like:

DisplayName               Name                 RegionalDisplayName
