How to use azure api management to do custom access token check and enrich data in request

All the incoming request to api management will have a token in a header, before backend service is hit token has to be verified. To verify token a GET tokenVallidationApi is to be hit and the response will tell us whether the token is valid or not. If the response exists for token validation , we have to take out few entries from response and enrich the body/header to hit the backend api. I am very new to api management tool and just figuring out how can we achieve this with azure api management?

This is possible. You would have to implement your policies like something below

1. Validate Token For this, you would first call the validation endpoint using send-request. You could also implement caching using value caching policies for multiple requests.

The doc also highlights how you can extract value from the response body.

2. Transform Body & Headers For headers, you would use the set-header policy and for the body, you would use the set-body policy.
