To create a client object to access the Azure CognitiveServicesManagement API, you will need the `endpoint` of your Azure CognitiveServicesManagement resource and a `credential`. The Azure CognitiveServicesManagement client can use Azure Active Directory credentials to authenticate.
You can find the endpoint for your Azure CognitiveServicesManagement resource in the [Azure Portal][azure_portal].
You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using a credential from the [@azure/identity][azure_identity] library or [an existing AAD Token](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/master/sdk/identity/identity/samples/AzureIdentityExamples.md#authenticating-with-a-pre-fetched-access-token).
To use the [DefaultAzureCredential][defaultazurecredential] provider shown below, or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, please install the `@azure/identity` package:
You will also need to **register a new AAD application and grant access to Azure CognitiveServicesManagement** by assigning the suitable role to your service principal (note: roles such as `"Owner"` will not grant the necessary permissions).
Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`, `AZURE_TENANT_ID`, `AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET`.
For more information about how to create an Azure AD Application check out [this guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal).
// For client-side applications running in the browser, use InteractiveBrowserCredential instead of DefaultAzureCredential. See https://aka.ms/azsdk/js/identity/examples for more details.
To use this client library in the browser, first you need to use a bundler. For details on how to do this, please refer to our [bundling documentation](https://aka.ms/AzureSDKBundling).
## Key concepts
### CognitiveServicesManagementClient
`CognitiveServicesManagementClient` is the primary interface for developers using the Azure CognitiveServicesManagement client library. Explore the methods on this client object to understand the different features of the Azure CognitiveServicesManagement service that you can access.
## Troubleshooting
### Logging
Enabling logging may help uncover useful information about failures. In order to see a log of HTTP requests and responses, set the `AZURE_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable to `info`. Alternatively, logging can be enabled at runtime by calling `setLogLevel` in the `@azure/logger`:
For more detailed instructions on how to enable logs, you can look at the [@azure/logger package docs](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/tree/main/sdk/core/logger).
