I would like to list all Azure locations via some API (I need to generate some config files for every region, and use the exact naming that Azure does to avoid typos). I found this question, but it only lists regions a particular subscription is authorized to use.
I want to list all regions that exist whether my subscription has access or not.

You can use the following REST API: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/**YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID**/providers?api -version=2020-10-01
SEE:
But, like the PowerShell and the AZ command line, this only shows data center regions available to the specified subscription.

I have been looking into a way to get the Azure regions without needing to authenticate to Azure and came across this thread. Similar to @girip11's response, I have been building on the public Azure documentation. This is the python script to get the data:
import requests
import pandas as pd
from re import search
def list_azure_regions():
url = 'https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/explore/global-infrastructure/geographies/'
html = requests.get(url).content
df_list = pd.read_html(html)
regions_list = []
locations_list = []
for df in df_list:
for dc in list(df):
if search('Regions', dc):
pass
else:
if search('Coming soon', dc):
state = 'planned'
else:
state = 'active'
location = df[dc][0]
region = dc.removesuffix(' Start free')
region = region.removesuffix(' Get started')
region = region.removesuffix(' Coming soon')
if region in regions_list:
pass
else:
regions_list.append(region)
locations_list.append(
dict({
'display_name': region,
'name': region.replace(' ','').lower(),
'location': location,
'state': state
})
)
return locations_list
azure_regions = list_azure_regions()
print(azure_regions)
The script returns a response of type <class 'list'> but could be converted to something more readable if required. I.E. when running on Windows:
> python .\get-azure-regions.py | ConvertFrom-Json
display_name name location state

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
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.
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
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
az account list-locations -o tablewill give you a table like:
