Creating an API Key and interacting with OpenAI, Claude, Google

  • OpenAI
    1. Python: Ensure that you have Python installed on your system.
    2. OpenAI API Key: Sign up for OpenAI and get your API key from the OpenAI Dashboard.

Step 1: Install the OpenAI Python Package

First, you need to install the OpenAI Python client library. You can do this using pip.

pip install openai

Step 2: Create a Python Script

Create a new Python script file, e.g., openai_example.py.

Step 3: Import Libraries and Set Up API Key

In your openai_example.py file, start by importing the necessary libraries and setting up your OpenAI API key.

import openai
import os

def get_chatgpt_response(prompt, api_key):
    openai_client= openai.OpenAI(api_key=api_key)

    try:
        response = openai_client.chat.completions.create(
            model="gpt-3.5-turbo",  # or the appropriate model
            messages=[
                {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
                {"role": "user", "content": prompt},
            ],
        )
        return response.choices[0].message.content.strip()
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Error: {e}"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") 
    if not api_key:
        raise ValueError("No API key found. Please set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.")
    
    prompt = "Write a short story about a talking cat."
    
    response = get_chatgpt_response(prompt, api_key)
    print(f"ChatGPT Response: {response}")

Step 4: set openai key and run the program

export OPENAI_API_KEY='xxx'
python openai_example.py
