Django Development with OpenAI API: A Step-by-Step Guide

Django Development with OpenAI API

This is a code repository for a Django web development project that integrates the OpenAI API. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the OpenAI API in a Django application to build intelligent chatbots and other interactive features.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

You will need to have the following software installed on your machine:

  • Python 3
  • Django
  • openai

You will also need to sign up for an OpenAI API key at https://beta.openai.com/.

Installing

To set up the Django project on your local machine, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/acaiaworld/django-openai.git
$ cd django-openai
  1. Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:
$ virtualenv2 --no-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate
  1. Install the required Python packages:
(env)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Note the (env) in front of the prompt. This indicates that this terminal session operates in a virtual environment set up by virtualenv2.

  1. Set up your OpenAI API key in the openai.api_key.set() function in mychatbot/views.py.

  2. Run the Django development server:

(env)$ cd project
(env)$ python manage.py runserver
  1. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your web browser to view the chatbot interface.
