Azure OpenAI

• Base URL: Computed from Azure resource configuration
• API endpoint: POST /embeddings

Azure OpenAI supports two modes depending on the api_version setting:

v1 mode

When api_version is set to "v1", behaves identically to OpenAI. Uses the standard connection config with base_url and token.

Legacy mode

Uses Azure-specific connection settings:

{
  "connection": {
    "resource_name": "my-azure-resource",
    "deployment_id": "my-embedding-deployment",
    "api_version": "2024-02-01",
    "api_key": "xxx"
  }
}

Parameter	Type	Description
resource_name	string	Azure resource name
deployment_id	string	Deployment ID (used as model)
api_version	string	API version (use "v1" for OpenAI-compatible mode)
api_key	string	API key (alternative to bearer token)
