Usage

from rsazure_openai_toolkit import call_azure_openai_handler

response = call_azure_openai_handler(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    azure_endpoint="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/",
    api_version="2023-12-01-preview",
    deployment_name="gpt-35-turbo",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},

    ]
)

print(response)

Environment Configuration

To simplify local development and testing, this toolkit supports loading environment variables from a .env file.

Create a .env file in your project root (or copy the provided .env.example) and add your Azure OpenAI credentials:

AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/
AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION=2023-12-01-preview
AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=your-deployment-name

In your script, load the environment variables before calling the handler:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()  # defaults to loading from .env in the current directory

from rsazure_openai_toolkit import call_azure_openai_handler

response = call_azure_openai_handler(
    api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    azure_endpoint=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
    api_version=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION"),
    deployment_name=os.getenv("AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"),
    messages=[...]
)

🚨 Possible Issues

• Invalid API Key or Endpoint
  Ensure your AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY and AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT are correctly set in your .env file.

• Deployment Not Found
  Check that your deployment_name matches exactly the name defined in your Azure OpenAI resource.

• Timeouts or 5xx Errors
  The toolkit includes automatic retries with exponential backoff via tenacity. If errors persist, verify network access or Azure service status.

• Missing Environment Variables
  Always ensure load_dotenv() is called before accessing os.getenv(...), especially when testing locally.
