New responses API does not work with AzureOpenAI

[alexprengere]

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

On the latest version of openai==1.66.2, I have this current code that works well:

import os
from openai import AzureOpenAI

client = AzureOpenAI(
    api_version=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_VERSION"),
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    azure_endpoint=os.getenv("OPENAI_AZURE_ENDPOINT"),
)

completions = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=os.getenv("OPENAI_AZURE_DEPLOYMENT"),
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of the United States?"},
    ],
)
print(completions.choices[0].message.content)
# returns 'The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C.'

I wanted to test the new responses API, so I followed the docs:

import os
from openai import AzureOpenAI

client = AzureOpenAI(
    api_version=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_VERSION"),
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    azure_endpoint=os.getenv("OPENAI_AZURE_ENDPOINT"),
)

response = client.responses.create(
    model=os.getenv("OPENAI_AZURE_DEPLOYMENT"),
    instructions="You are a coding assistant that talks like a pirate.",
    input="How do I check if a Python object is an instance of a class?",
)
print(response.output_text)

But this results in:

openai.NotFoundError: Error code: 404 - {'error': {'code': '404', 'message': 'Resource not found'}}

Am I missing something or is this just not supported yet? Note that the deployed model on Azure is GPT-4o.

@alexprengere Responses API is not supported on Azure yet. I can't share an ETA, but I expect support to come soon.

[alexprengere]

@RobertCraigie wouldn't it be better to keep this issue open until the feature lands? Or perhaps I misunderstood @kristapratico, and indeed this is "not planned".

[RobertCraigie]

Ah sorry, we tend to only keep issues open that are relevant to the SDK. If it's an API issue we'll close it.

@kristapratico is there a better place for people to track support for Responses in Azure?

[kristapratico]

Responses API support is planned for Azure. I think the best place I can provide to track support is the "what's new" page on MS Learn: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/whats-new
