not able to add credentials. even though same credentual working in python calls. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1359804475967148123/1359804476243836948/Screenshot_2025-04-10_at_12.19.43_PM.png?ex=67f8d01b&is=67f77e9b&hm=24beb7550e7de02c79fe4f5733f71e4857e2d9fccad198b4a179963365669233&

Hi there! 👋 I see you're having trouble adding Azure OpenAI credentials to Vapi, even though the same credentials are working in your Python calls. This is a common issue with a few potential solutions! I can't determine exactly what's working in your Python setup, but I can definitely help troubleshoot why your credentials aren't validating in Vapi. Based on the error message you're seeing (401: "Access denied due to invalid subscription key or wrong API endpoint"), here are the most likely causes and solutions: ## 1. API Endpoint Format Vapi requires a specific endpoint format that might differ from what works in Python: - The endpoint should go up to

chat/completions?api-version=

without including the version number - Use the shorter resource endpoint, not the longer deployment endpoint - Example format:

openai/deployments/<deployment_name>/chat/completions?api-version

[Discord user feedback](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336754090880798765) confirms this format requirement. ## 2. Authentication Method There might be a discrepancy in the authentication method: - Vapi might be expecting the

Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key

header - Azure OpenAI now requires the

api-key

header - This could explain why credentials work in Python but not in Vapi According to [user discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1339956981297057892), this authentication method mismatch is a common issue. ## 3. Model and Deployment Name Make sure: - The deployment name exactly matches the model name in Vapi (e.g., "gpt-4o-2024-08-06") - You're using the OpenAI provider standard model name (e.g., gpt-4o) not a custom name - You're using "OpenAI" as the provider ## 4. Region Configuration Check your region settings: - Vapi might default to "australia" for the region - Manually select the correct region for your Azure OpenAI resource

When entering credentials, make sure the endpoint field is just the root URL and the key field is the correct key, without extra whitespace..

King's big if possible can you get in a chat with Manish and see what could have been going wrong for him?
