Error when calling the Azure Quota SDK for python for Standard NCASv3_T4 Family types of instances

Question

I have been trying to call the quota.get() method and it works for all resource names that doesn't have a space or underscore in the name, for example: "standardNCFamily" works but not for the rest like, "Standard NCASv3_T4 Family" does not.

def main():
    client = AzureQuotaExtensionAPI(

    )

    response = client.quota.list(
        scope="subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/providers/Microsoft.Compute/locations/eastus",

    main()

This is the sample code from samples repo in the Azure python github here

And this is the error I get when I call for the NCAS_v3 type of instances:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Code: InvalidResourceName
Message: Name %60%60Standard%20NCASv3_T4%20Family%60%60 is not valid resource name.

I've been at it for hours trying different configurations for the names but can't seem to find it. The documentation doesn't mention anything either.

Any help would be awesome!

It seems that your name contains underscores and spaces and you're accessing it in the wrong way without any casting and space safety resource, make sure that your resource name should match the name of the resource you want to retrieve information about, and it should be formatted correctly. For example, to retrieve information about Standard NCASv3_T4 Family instances, you should pass "Standard NCASv3_T4 Family" as your resource name to the quota.get() method, so your code should be like quota.get("Standard NCASv3_T4 Family") it should work anyway, if not, make sure you imported the correct resource type when calling the quota.get() method. The resource type you're using should match the type of that resource that you're trying to retrieve information about. For example, if you're trying to retrieve information about Standard NCASv3_T4 Family instances, you should use the resource type "virtualMachineScaleSets" resource type, and also don't forget to check standard documentation they're always a good resource for everything!!
