Getting proper api version for azure python delete_by_id method
Question:
I’m working on automated deletion of Azure resources based on tags attached to these resources.
I’m using Azure SDK for python (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python) – I found how to get a list of my resources and that I can delete them with ResourceManagementClient with resources.delete_by_id method.
However, this method requires 2 arguments – resource id (which I have from resources listed by ResourceManagementClient) and API version (which is different for every resource type.
How can I determine which API version should be passed to the method?
I’ve tried to find something in docs and code of SDK, but I couldn’t come up with a proper solution.
API version can be even hardcoded, but it needs to work for all resource types.
When using some api versions (e.g. 2018-05-01) I get error for some of resource types:
Azure Error: NoRegisteredProviderFound
Message: No registered resource provider found for location 'westeurope' and API version '['2018-05-01']' for type 'virtualMachines'.

Answers:
If I am not mistaken, resources.delete_by_id is a wrapper over Delete By Id REST API method. Currently the latest API Version for this operation is 2018-05-01. You can use that in your method call.
I would recommend the same approach than the CLI implementation, do an initial call to ARM to get the possible mappings from Resource Provider / Resource Type to API version(s), and use that to inject the correct api version in your call.
Get this mapping would be a list providers call.
Adding a Mgmt sample repo, look for ResourceManagementClient:

Edit: I work at MS in the Python SDK team.
