## 1. Setup API Keys
Set as environment variables, or create a .env file at your project root:
Depending on the client you want to use, there are various environment variables you can set to configure the chat clients. This can be done in the environment itself, or with a `.env` file in your project root, some examples of environment variables include:
```bash
FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=...
FOUNDRY_MODEL=...
...
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL=...
OPENAI_RESPONSES_MODEL=...
...
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=...
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=...
AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=...
...
FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=...
FOUNDRY_MODEL=...
AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=...
```
You can also override environment variables by explicitly passing configuration parameters to the chat client constructor:
```python
from agent_framework.azure import AzureOpenAIChatClient
from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
client = AzureOpenAIChatClient(
client = OpenAIChatClient(
api_key="",
endpoint="",
deployment_name="",
api_version="",
model="",
)
```
