One of 6 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Write a Python snippet for connecting to an existing Azure Language deployment that relies on API key authentication instead of Entra ID credentials.

Client library for Azure AI Language service NLP capabilities including sentiment, entities, key phrases, and more.
pip install azure-ai-textanalytics
AZURE_LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
AZURE_LANGUAGE_KEY=<your-api-key> # Only required for the legacy API-key auth path below
🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below:
- Prefer
DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
- Local dev:
DefaultAzureCredentialworks as-is.- Production: set
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod(orAZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.- Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
- Sync:
with <Client>(...) as client:- Async:
async with <Client>(...) as client:andasync with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:(fromazure.identity.aio)Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.
import os
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient
# Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
credential = DefaultAzureCredential(require_envvar=True)
# Or use a specific credential directly in production:
# See https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python#credential-classes
