  2. Click on “Start Free” or “Sign In” if you already have an account.
  3. Complete the sign-up process by providing your details and verifying your identity.

2. Create an Azure OpenAI Resource

  1. Navigate to the Azure Portal Dashboard: https://portal.azure.com/.
  2. In the left sidebar, select “Create a resource”.
  3. In the search bar, type “Azure OpenAI” and select “Azure OpenAI Service”.

3. Get the API Key

  1. Once your resource is created, go to the Azure OpenAI Service resource by clicking on it in the Azure Portal.
  2. In the left-hand menu, select “Keys and Endpoint”.
  3. You will see two keys labeled Key 1 and Key 2, along with the Endpoint.
  4. Click the “Copy” icon next to either Key 1 or Key 2 to copy the API key.

🔹 Note: Treat your API keys like passwords and store them securely. Avoid sharing them publicly.


4. Copy the Endpoint

  1. On the same “Keys and Endpoint” page, you will also see the Endpoint URL.
  2. Copy the endpoint URL — you will need this when making API calls.

  2. Got to Organization > AI Credentials
  3. Click Create and select OpenAI at Microsoft Azure
