Azure AI Foundry: Deploy to Teams, API Key Method

Question

I am trying to deploy an Azure AI Foundry Project into Microsoft Teams. According to the generated README from the zipped application folder, the Azure AI Search Key just needs to be pasted into the config.json file. What is the syntax needed for the API Key to have it set up properly in the JSON file?

Hi Quinn S,

In config.json is used to store configuration details, it includes Azure AI search key to allow application to authenticate and interact within Azure AI search

we need to write the syntax correctly otherwise it may not work properly

To add or update the Azure AI search key in config.json file for your Azure AI Foundry project, you can follow syntax like:

{

"AzureAISearch": {

"APIKey": "your-azure-ai-search-key-here"
```  }

}

Replace the "your-azure-ai-search-key-here" with the actual API key provided in your Azure portal.

Also Ensure The key is inside double quotes. The JSON structure remains valid (commas, brackets, and formatting are correct). No extra spaces or hidden characters are included that might cause parsing issues.
