How to resolve "no api key provided" error in Azure OpenAI Service code generation

How to resolve "no api key provided" error in Azure OpenAI Service code generation

Leabriah Spencer 45

In the "Generate and improve code with Azure OpenAI Service" tutorial found in https://microsoftlearning.github.io/mslearn-openai/Instructions/Labs/04-code-generation.html#set-up-an-application-in-cloud-shell, I keep encountering a "no api key provided error" despite providing my API key in both the .env file and the program file. I have tried generating new keys, following instructions from OpenAI, and setting the API key directly in the code or as an environment variable, but none of these methods have resolved the issue. I have also consulted Q&A Assist, but the provided answer was not helpful. Can someone provide guidance to resolve this error?

Attached are images of the error message I am receiving.

Hi @Leabriah Spencer

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.

I have tried the code which you have shared, and it works as expected. (See Screenshot below)

I suspect api_key is not getting set correctly in the code in your case.

Can you please use print(openai.api_key) to print the assigned API_Key Value and validate it against the actual API_Key value in Azure portal. Please let me know if you still see any error.

Thanks

Hello @saurabh sharma thanks for your feedback.

I used your advice and received this error when attempting to print the api key:

"bash: syntax error near unexpected token `openai.api_key'"

I tried using "echo %OPENAI_API_KEY%" and received this back:

%OPENAI_API_KEY%.

Are you able to see where i'm going wrong?

Leabriah Spencer You can try printing the api_key in python code sample. Something like this -

Please let me know if you see any errors or if don't get expected outcome.

@Leabriah Spencer Were you able to test the if the api_key is getting set properly.

If you are not getting the correct values when using echo cmdlet in command prompt, then the respective environment variable is not configured correctly. Please validate the environment variables by checking "System Properties" > "Environment Variables". (See screenshot below)

User's image

If you are using environment variables you need to use the code as below -

# Get configuration settings 
load_dotenv()
azure_oai_endpoint =("https://{resourcename}.openai.azure.com/")
azure_oai_key = os.getenv("AOAIKey")
azure_oai_model = "gpt35turbo"

# Set OpenAI configuration settings
openai.api_type = "azure"
openai.api_base = azure_oai_endpoint
openai.api_version = "2023-05-15"
openai.api_key = azure_oai_key

Also, try hardcoding like this and see if it works.

openai.api_type = "azure"
openai.api_base = "https://{resource}.openai.azure.com/"
openai.api_version = "2023-05-15"
openai.api_key = "{key}"
