What Hudu needs from Azure OpenAI:
- Endpoint
- API Key
- Deployment name
- API Version
Configuring Azure OpenAI
These steps use the New Foundry interface in Azure AI Foundry. If your portal shows a "New Foundry" toggle in the top right, leave it on to match the steps below.
What Hudu needs from Azure OpenAI
- Endpoint
- API Key
- Deployment name
- API Version
In Azure
Create the resource
- In the Azure portal, create an Azure AI Foundry (Azure OpenAI) resource.
- Choose your subscription, resource group, and region, then work through the network, tags, and review steps and select Create.
- When it finishes, select Go to resource, then open the Azure AI Foundry portal.
Deploy a model
- In the left panel, select Models.
- Select Deploy model, then Deploy base model.
- Choose a model (for example, gpt-5), then select Deploy.
Find your Endpoint, Key, and Deployment name
- Select your deployment, then open the Details tab.
- Your Key is shown at the top of this tab.
- Your Deployment name is listed under Deployment info > Name.
In Hudu
- Navigate to Admin -> Hudini
- Enable Hudini
- Find and select Azure OpenAI from the list
- Enter your API Key from the deployment Details tab
- Enter your Endpoint, built in this format using your own resource name and deployment name:
- https://your-resource-name.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/your-deployment-name
- Enter API Version:
- Use 2025-04-01-preview. Current Azure models (the GPT-5 family) require this version or newer. Older versions such as 2023-05-15 will return a "resource not found" error.
- This is the Azure API version, not the model version listed under Deployment info. The two are different, and entering the model version here will cause the same error.
- Select Save
  API versions are updated over time. For the current list of supported versions, see Microsoft's Azure OpenAI API version lifecycle page.
In Hudu:
- Navigate to Admin -> Hudini
- Enable Hudini
- Find and select Azure OpenAI from the list
- Input your API Key and Endpoint from your deployment
- The endpoint will need to be edited to look like the following, where the deployment name matches the name of your deployment:
- https://example.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/gpt-5
- The endpoint will need to be edited to look like the following, where the deployment name matches the name of your deployment:
- Enter API Version:
- Use 2025-04-01-preview. Current Azure models (the GPT-5 family) require this version or newer. Older versions such as 2023-05-15 will return a "resource not found" error.
- This is the Azure API version, not the model version listed under Deployment info. The two are different, and entering the model version here will cause the same error.

FAQ
Answer: If your API key is not being accepted, the most common solutions are:
Regenerate the API key in OpenAI and re-enter it into Hudu.
Ensure that you're using an OpenAI API key – this is different from a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
-
Confirm that you have enough OpenAI developer credits.
OpenAI's API is not a free feature; you must either be on their free trial with remaining credits or have a paid billing method set up.
