Hands-on Experience with ChatGPT API in Python
QuickStart on Using ChatGPT API and Things to Notice
Introduction
Finally, after all this time, ChatGPT has finally released its official API, which would make all previous hacking ways obsolete. I have previously written an article of some third-party hacking tools to incorporate chatGPT into an application. But now there is no more need for that, if you have reviewed the official docs here, it provides more than any existing tools can offer, with text completion, editing, images, and audios, etc.
In this article, we’ll introduce you to the fundamentals of using the ChatGPT API, along with some simple hands-on demos in Python. We’ll cover the most important functions in the API, along with some key parameters you can use to customize your text generation. Hope this can serve as a starting point for you to explore more of it.
Requirements
To use the ChatGPT API, you’ll need a few things:
- An API key from OpenAI, which you can sign up for on their website. Note that it is only generated once each time, remember to save it and keep it a secret.
- A programming environment that supports Python, such as Jupyter Notebook or PyCharm.
