use custom data in the API call to Azure OpenAI

Question

Hey. I have been using Azure OpenAI api calls and it is mostly static at the moment. wonder how should I integration the restful api with additional data from other sources like documents, database and other api endpoints?

The purpose is for the chat response to be able to retrieve data from other sources that i have and make the response more dynamic.

The Azure OpenAI request call alone may not meet your needs. However, you can leverage function calling or explore frameworks like LangChain or Semantic Kernel to integrate additional knowledge from other sources.
