Hi OpenAI team 👋

We’ve noticed that, as of now, the AzureOpenAI and AsyncAzureOpenAI clients do not expose the .responses resource like the default OpenAI client does. This is a bit limiting, especially considering that Azure OpenAI has recently added support for the /openai/responses endpoint as part of the 2025-03-01-preview API version.

Currently, attempting to use:

client = AsyncAzureOpenAI(...)
await client.responses.create(...)

raises an AttributeError because .responses is not available on that class.

It would be great if .responses was added to AzureOpenAI and AsyncAzureOpenAI, similarly to how .chat.completions are exposed.

• Azure now supports /openai/responses endpoint
• model / deployment ID is passed in the JSON body, not in the path
• No need to add it to _deployments_endpoints
• Adding this would make the SDK consistent and easier to use for Azure users

Thanks in advance! Happy to contribute a PR if you’re open to it.

Best,
Nikolai
