Running an example

I keep getting the error on unable to read openai or azure openai keys.

2025-02-18 00:35:20,454 - tinytroupe - ERROR - Error while generating agent specification: The api_key client option must be set either by passing api_key to the client or by setting the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable

Might be silly, anything I'm doing wrong? Have the key in env file, config.ini file, still stuck at this.

If you're running in a conda or python env the key needs to be where you are creating the instance of TinyTroupe (the client), not in the config.ini or in .env

So in app.py you would have something like:

os.environ["OPENAI_KEY"] = "1234567890"

factory_description = "A department store."

factory = TinyPersonFactory(factory_description)

The thing is, it takes all environment variables and works well with open keys. However, if I use Azure and set up Azure keys, it fails to run through that.

For Azure your app.py should look something like this:

os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_KEY"] = KEY
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"] = ENDPOINT

and your config.ini should look like this:

# OpenAI or Azure OpenAI Service
[OpenAI]

# Default options: openai, azure
API_TYPE=azure
AZURE_API_VERSION=2024-08-01-preview

# Model parameters
MODEL=gpt-4o-mini
MAX_TOKENS=16384

In the config notice that you DO NOT change [OpenAI] to [Azure OpenAI Service] if you're using Azure. I made that mistake and it would fail.

Ah! I think that could be the issue

Let me check this tomorrow and see if that fixes it.
