Hello Trevor !

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Learn.

Open the Azure AI Foundry portal, then navigate to your specific project then go to the Overview or Libraries section.

Look for your project endpoint, it will have the format:

https://<YourFoundryResource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<YourProjectName>

This is the base URL you'll use in SDKs or REST calls.

Within the same project in the portal, find the Settings, Keys and endpoints, or sometimes named Connected resources.

There should be an option like Keys and endpoints or Manage keys, click there to view the API keys for your resource.

If it's not visible yet:

• The service stores API keys in an associated Azure Key Vault.
• You may need Owner, Contributor, or Cognitive Services Contributor permissions to view them.

Once there, you can copy the API key string. You can also regenerate it, or switch to Microsoft Entra ID (managed identity) later for stronger security.
