Azure OpenAI

SideSeat automatically extracts model information, token usage, and costs from Azure OpenAI API calls.

Prerequisites

• SideSeat running locally (sideseat)
• SDK installed (pip install sideseat / uv add sideseat or npm install @sideseat/sdk)
• Azure OpenAI credentials configured

Usage with OpenAI SDK

Python

from sideseat import SideSeat
SideSeat()

from openai import AzureOpenAI

client = AzureOpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    api_version="2024-02-01",
    azure_endpoint="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5-mini",  # Your deployment name
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

JavaScript

import { init } from '@sideseat/sdk';
init();

import { AzureOpenAI } from 'openai';

const client = new AzureOpenAI({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  apiVersion: '2024-02-01',
  endpoint: 'https://your-resource.openai.azure.com'
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5-mini',  // Your deployment name
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

from openai import AzureOpenAI

# Uses environment variables
client = AzureOpenAI()

Managed Identity

Azure Managed Identity is supported:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from openai import AzureOpenAI

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
token = credential.get_token("https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default")

client = AzureOpenAI(
    azure_ad_token=token.token,
    api_version="2024-02-01",
    azure_endpoint="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com"
)
