Azure AI Projects SDK for Java

High-level SDK for Azure AI Foundry project management with access to connections, datasets, indexes, and evaluations.

Installation

Copy
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-ai-projects</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-beta.1</version>
</dependency>

Environment Variables

Copy
PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>

Authentication

Copy
import com.azure.ai.projects.AIProjectClientBuilder;
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;

AIProjectClientBuilder builder = new AIProjectClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(System.getenv("PROJECT_ENDPOINT"))
    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build());

Client Hierarchy

The SDK provides multiple sub-clients for different operations:

Copy
// Build sub-clients from builder
ConnectionsClient connectionsClient = builder.buildConnectionsClient();
DatasetsClient datasetsClient = builder.buildDatasetsClient();
DeploymentsClient deploymentsClient = builder.buildDeploymentsClient();
IndexesClient indexesClient = builder.buildIndexesClient();
EvaluationsClient evaluationsClient = builder.buildEvaluationsClient();

Core Operations

List Connections

Copy
import com.azure.ai.projects.models.Connection;
import com.azure.core.http.rest.PagedIterable;

PagedIterable<Connection> connections = connectionsClient.listConnections();
for (Connection connection : connections) {
    System.out.println("Name: " + connection.getName());
    System.out.println("Type: " + connection.getType());
    System.out.println("Credential Type: " + connection.getCredentials().getType());
}

List Indexes

Copy
indexesClient.listLatest().forEach(index -> {
    System.out.println("Index name: " + index.getName());
    System.out.println("Version: " + index.getVersion());
    System.out.println("Description: " + index.getDescription());
});

Create or Update Index

Copy
import com.azure.ai.projects.models.AzureAISearchIndex;
import com.azure.ai.projects.models.Index;

String indexName = "my-index";
String indexVersion = "1.0";
String searchConnectionName = System.getenv("AI_SEARCH_CONNECTION_NAME");
String searchIndexName = System.getenv("AI_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME");

Index index = indexesClient.createOrUpdate(
    indexName,
    indexVersion,
    new AzureAISearchIndex()
        .setConnectionName(searchConnectionName)
        .setIndexName(searchIndexName)
);

System.out.println("Created index: " + index.getName());

Access OpenAI Evaluations

The SDK exposes OpenAI's official SDK for evaluations:

Copy
import com.openai.services.EvalService;

EvalService evalService = evaluationsClient.getOpenAIClient();
// Use OpenAI evaluation APIs directly

Best Practices

1. Use DefaultAzureCredential for production authentication
2. Reuse client builder to create multiple sub-clients efficiently
3. Handle pagination when listing resources with PagedIterable
4. Use environment variables for connection names and configuration
5. Check connection types before accessing credentials

Error Handling

Copy
import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;
import com.azure.core.exception.ResourceNotFoundException;

try {
    Index index = indexesClient.get(indexName, version);
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
    System.err.println("Index not found: " + indexName);
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
    System.err.println("Error: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
}
