Availability on Azure

Hi i have not run across azure implementation of this sdk. Someone posted this but it doesn't work https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/Azure-AI-Services-blog/use-azure-openai-and-apim-with-the-openai-agents-sdk/4392537

Azure OpenAI Agent Example

Before running this code, make sure you have authenticated with Azure by running:

az login

from openai import AsyncAzureOpenAI
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider

azure_endpoint = "<replace by your own endpoint>"
azure_api_version = "2024-09-01-preview"

token_provider = get_bearer_token_provider(
    DefaultAzureCredential(), "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default"
)

azure_client = AsyncAzureOpenAI(
    azure_endpoint=azure_endpoint,
    api_version=azure_api_version,
    azure_ad_token_provider=token_provider,
)

from agents import Agent, OpenAIChatCompletionsModel, Runner

azure_agent = Agent(
    name="Azure agent",
    instructions="Translate to French.",
    model=OpenAIChatCompletionsModel(
        model="gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
        openai_client=azure_client,
    ),
)

result = await Runner.run(azure_agent, input="Please fix the bug in the following code")
print(result.final_output)`

Do it like that, that works without entra ID:

@PragalvhaSharma

from agents import Agent, OpenAIChatCompletionsModel, Runner

import asyncio

import os
import base64
from openai import AzureOpenAI
from agents import set_default_openai_client

from openai import AsyncAzureOpenAI,AzureOpenAI
from agents import set_default_openai_client
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, get_bearer_token_provider

endpoint = os.getenv("ENDPOINT_URL", "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.openai.azure.com/")
deployment = os.getenv("DEPLOYMENT_NAME", "o1")
subscription_key = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

client = AsyncAzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=endpoint,
api_key=subscription_key,
api_version="2025-03-01-preview",
)

set_default_openai_client(client)

azure_agent = Agent(
name="Banking Assistant",
instructions="You are a helpful banking assistant. Be concise and professional.",
model=OpenAIChatCompletionsModel(
model=deployment,
openai_client=client
)
)

async def test():
result = await Runner.run(azure_agent, input="Please fix the bug in the following code")
print(result.final_output)

if name == "main":
asyncio.run(test())

Hey! I figured this out — the key is to set up the AsyncAzureOpenAI client yourself and pass it explicitly to the Agent via the openai_client parameter.

Here's a working example using the Azure OpenAI endpoint with the agent-sdk:

import os
import asyncio
from openai import AsyncAzureOpenAI
from openai import OpenAIError
from agents import Agent, Runner, OpenAIChatCompletionsModel, set_tracing_disabled

# Disable tracing since we're using Azure OpenAI
set_tracing_disabled(disabled=True)

deployment = "gpt-4o"

async def main():
    try:
        # Create the Async Azure OpenAI client
        client = AsyncAzureOpenAI(
            api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_KEY"),
            api_version="2023-09-01-preview",
            azure_endpoint=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")
        )

        # Configure the agent with Azure OpenAI
        agent = Agent(
            name="Assistant",
            instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
            model=OpenAIChatCompletionsModel(
                model=deployment,
                openai_client=client,
            )
        )

        result = await Runner.run(agent, "Write a haiku about recursion in programming.")
        print(result.final_output)

    except OpenAIError as e:
        print(f"OpenAI API Error: {str(e)}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {str(e)}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
