Microsoft Kiota Authentication Azure Library for Python
The Microsoft Kiota Authentication Azure Library is an implementation to authenticate HTTP requests using @azure/identity.
A Kiota generated project will need a reference to an authentication provider to make calls to an API endpoint.
Read more about Kiota here.
Using the Microsoft Kiota Authentication Azure library
In order to use this library, install the package by running:
pip install microsoft-kiota-authentication-azure
The application owns the credential passed to AzureIdentityAccessTokenProvider.
The provider leaves it open so it can be reused for token refreshes, concurrent
requests, or multiple clients. Close the credential after all clients using it
have finished. For async Azure Identity credentials, use an async with context
manager around the client lifetime or call await credential.close() at shutdown.
