# Azure OpenAI

[Azure OpenAI ↗](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/ai-services/openai-service/) allows you apply natural language algorithms on your data.

## Endpoint

```

https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/azure-openai/{resource_name}/{deployment_name}


```

## Prerequisites

When making requests to Azure OpenAI, you will need:

* AI Gateway account ID
* AI Gateway gateway name
* Azure OpenAI API key
* Azure OpenAI resource name
* Azure OpenAI deployment name (aka model name)

## URL structure

Your new base URL will use the data above in this structure: `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/azure-openai/{resource_name}/{deployment_name}`. Then, you can append your endpoint and api-version at the end of the base URL, like `.../chat/completions?api-version=2023-05-15`.

## Examples

### cURL

Example fetch request

```

curl 'https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway}/azure-openai/{resource_name}/{deployment_name}/chat/completions?api-version=2023-05-15' \

  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  --header 'api-key: {azure_api_key}' \

  --data '{

  "messages": [

    {

      "role": "user",

      "content": "What is Cloudflare?"

    }

  ]

}'


```

### Use `openai` JavaScript SDK

JavaScript

```

import { AzureOpenAI } from "openai";


const azure_openai = new AzureOpenAI({

  apiKey: "{azure_api_key}",

  baseURL: `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway}/azure-openai/{resource_name}/`,

  apiVersion: "2023-05-15",

  defaultHeaders: { "cf-aig-authorization": "{cf-api-token}" }, // if authenticated

});


const result = await azure_openai.chat.completions.create({

  model: '{deployment_name}',

  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],

});


```
