Is it possible to get Azure OpenAI Model API key through the Rest API?

Sidney Glinton 5

Can I use the Azure API to get an OpenAI model API key through the REST functionality that exists currently?

Hi Sidney Glinton

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

You can obtain an API key for Azure OpenAI models through the REST API. When you create an Azure OpenAI resource, you'll be provided with an API key to use for authenticating your API requests.

Kindly refer below document:

Thank You.

Hi @Saideep Anchuri ,

What I am asking is if an API for a model can be pulled/generated via REST API.

For example,

I create the OpenAI Resource, then I create the deployment. The deployment gives you an an API key. Is that retrievable? It seems that what you linked in accessing the OpenAI Service, but the prerequisite is that you already have an API key. I want to know if I can programmatically get this key.

Hi Sidney Glinton

API keys for OpenAI model deployments can't be obtained or generated programmatically via REST API. For security reasons, they must be manually created. After generation, these keys can then be incorporated into your code for accessing the API.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
