How to Set Up the Azure OpenAI API Key

This article will guide you on how to get your Azure OpenAI api key to integrate into AI Content Labs.

Step 1: Access Your Azure Account

Access your Azure account. If you don’t have one yet, create one at portal.azure.com.

Step 2: Create an Azure OpenAI Resource

1. Search for “Azure OpenAI” in the search bar and select “Azure OpenAI” from the results.
2. Click on “Create”.
3. Fill in the project details: subscription, resource group, region, name (you will use this name later), etc.
4. Click “Review and Create”, then “Create”. The deployment will take a few minutes.

Step 3: Get the API Key and Access the Azure OpenAI Service Portal

1. Once the resource is created, go to the “Keys and Endpoint” section.
2. Copy one of the API keys. Save it in a secure place, as you’ll need it to connect to AI Content Labs.
3. Go to the “Overview” tab and click on “Go to Azure AI Foundry Portal”. This will take you to the Azure OpenAI Service within Azure AI Foundry.

Step 4: Deploy the Required Models

1. In Azure OpenAI Service, create a new deployment for each model you want to use in AI Content Labs. It’s important that the deployment name matches the model name exactly.
2. Make sure to deploy the gpt-4o-mini model. AI Content Labs requires it to validate your data.
3. You can check the full list of models compatible with AI Content Labs from Azure at Azure Compatible Models.

Step 5: Enter the API Key in AI Content Labs

1. Log in to AI Content Labs.
2. Click on the user menu at the bottom left of the screen.
3. Select “Set Up API Keys”.
4. In the Azure OpenAI card, paste the previously copied API key and type the Azure OpenAI project name you created in Step 2 in the “Instance Name” field.
5. Click “Save”. An error message will notify you if there’s an issue.

By completing these steps, you will have integrated Azure OpenAI with AI Content Labs. Contact AI Content Labs support if you need assistance.
