# Azure Bot Service Management SDK for Python

Manage Azure Bot Service resources including bots, channels, and connections.

## Installation

```bash
pip install azure-mgmt-botservice
pip install azure-identity
```

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>  # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<your-resource-group>  # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
```

## Authentication & Lifecycle

> **🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below:**
>
> 1. **Prefer `DefaultAzureCredential`.** It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
>    - Local dev: `DefaultAzureCredential` works as-is.
>    - Production: set `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod` (or `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>`) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.
> 2. **Wrap every client in a context manager** so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
>    - Sync: `with <Client>(...) as client:`
>    - Async: `async with <Client>(...) as client:` **and** `async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:` (from `azure.identity.aio`)
>
> Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.

```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential
from azure.mgmt.botservice import AzureBotService
import os

# Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
credential = DefaultAzureCredential(require_envvar=True)
# Or use a specific credential directly in production:
# See https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python#credential-classes
# credential = ManagedIdentityCredential()

with AzureBotService(
    credential=credential,
    subscription_id=os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]
) as client:
    # Use `client` for all subsequent operations (see examples below)
    ...
```

## Create a Bot

```python
from azure.mgmt.botservice import AzureBotService
from azure.mgmt.botservice.models import Bot, BotProperties, Sku
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

resource_group = os.environ["AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"]
bot_name = "my-chat-bot"

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
with AzureBotService(
    credential=credential,
    subscription_id=os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]
) as client:
    bot = client.bots.create(
        resource_group_name=resource_group,
        resource_name=bot_name,
        parameters=Bot(
            location="global",
            sku=Sku(name="F0"),  # Free tier
            kind="azurebot",
            properties=BotProperties(
                display_name="My Chat Bot",
                description="A conversational AI bot",
                endpoint="https://my-bot-app.azurewebsites.net/api/messages",
                msa_app_id="<your-app-id>",
                msa_app_type="MultiTenant"
            )
        )
    )

print(f"Bot created: {bot.name}")
```

## Get Bot Details

```python
bot = client.bots.get(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    resource_name=bot_name
)

print(f"Bot: {bot.properties.display_name}")
print(f"Endpoint: {bot.properties.endpoint}")
print(f"SKU: {bot.sku.name}")
```

## List Bots in Resource Group

```python
bots = client.bots.list_by_resource_group(resource_group_name=resource_group)

for bot in bots:
    print(f"Bot: {bot.name} - {bot.properties.display_name}")
```

## List All Bots in Subscription

```python
all_bots = client.bots.list()

for bot in all_bots:
    print(f"Bot: {bot.name} in {bot.id.split('/')[4]}")
```
