Don't worry. Not everyone knows it...

If you’re using Azure OpenAI then you must be aware that the most common and easiest way to authenticate our application is using app-key. The key-based authentication approach is very popular because it is very straightforward. Let's have a quick look at the below code snippet: from openai import AzureOpenAI client = AzureOpenAI ( api_key = 'KEY_GOES_HERE' , api_version = "2024-02-01" , azure_endpoint = 'ENDPOINT_GOES_HERE' ) response = client . completions . create ( model = 'MODEL_GOES_HERE' , prompt = 'Tell me a joke' , max_tokens = 80 ) print ( "\n ##########" ) print ( response . choices [ 0 ] . text ) The above code snippet constructs the AzureOpenAI client object using api-key,api-version, and endpoint. Then, this object makes a call to the completion endpoint with the required parameters. Of course, app key works very well for the experimentation purpose and is not very well suited for ente
