A free Azure subscription allowing up to 5,000 transactions per month with a maximum of 20 per minute (last checked at Azure Pricing 20210316) is available from Microsoft at https://azure.microsoft.com/free/. After subscribing visit the Azure Portal at https://portal.azure.com and Create a resource under AI and Machine Learning called Cognitive Services. Once created you can access the web API subscription key and endpoint from the portal. These will be prompted for when you configure the package. The credentials will be saved to file to reduce the need for repeated authentication requests.

The first time you will be asked to enter the key and cloud endpoint:

ml configure azcv
Private information is required to access this service.
See the README for more details.

Please paste your Computer Vision key: *************************
Please paste your endpoint: uswest

That information has been saved into the file:

    /home/kt/.mlhub/azcv/private.json

If the file containing the private information already exists, you will be given a chance to display or edit the file, or else to load the private information from the file:

$ ml configure azcv
The following file has been found and is assumed to
contain the private information.

    /home/kt/.mlhub/azcv/private.json

Use this private information ('d' to display, 'n' to update) [Y/d/n]?

The default response is Y (i.e., yes) but if you’d like to have a look at the key first then use d (i.e., display). To enter new information select n (i.e., respond no to loading the current private information).
