Budgets REST API

Question

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/consumption/budgets/create-or-update

I am trying to use the above the REST API. I have managed to create a budget, but I cannot create a notification.

I am posting

{
"notifications": {
"Actual_GreaterThan_80_Percent": {
"enabled": true,
"operator": "GreaterThan",
"threshold": 80,
"locale": "en-us",
"contactEmails": [
"someperson@somelocation.co.uk"
],
"thresholdType": "Actual"
}
}
}

and the response I get is

{
"error": {
"code": "400",
"message": "Invalid budget configuration, please use filter interface with 2019-05-01-preview version (Request ID: 4d49576c-f24b-4cda-a09c-973bc2b58441)"
}
}

@Mark Thanks for your question. I have tested from my end, and I was able to create budget using REST API. For your reference, I have shared the request body of the REST API. Kindly retry the REST API operation and revert if you have further questions.

{  
  "eTag": "\"1d34d016a593709\"",  
  "properties": {  
    "category": "Cost",  
    "amount": 100.65,  
    "timeGrain": "Monthly",  
    "timePeriod": {  
      "startDate": "2022-05-01T00:00:00Z",  
      "endDate": "2022-05-31T00:00:00Z"  
    },  
    "notifications": {  
      "Actual_GreaterThan_80_Percent": {  
        "enabled": true,  
        "operator": "GreaterThan",  
        "threshold": 80,  
        "locale": "en-us",  
        "contactEmails": [  
          "xxxxxxx@microsoft.com"  
        ],  
        "contactRoles": [  
          "Contributor",  
          "Reader"  
        ]  
        "thresholdType": "Actual"  
      }  
    }  
  }  
}  

Image for your reference.

I assume you are not adding below properties within your request body which are mandatory to create the budget alert.

• properties.amount
• properties.category
• properties.timeGrain
• properties.timePeriod
