Hello @KangtanC,
In order to load your API key from env, you should keep the code as it is and add a new file called .env in the root directory with the following content.

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-therestofyourapikey

Also, I would suggest you not to publish your API key publicly, so please edit your comment or revoke your key and create a new one with OpenAI.

I hope this helps!

Closing for now, feel free to reopen if needed.

thank you very much, it's very helpful. The API key I've sent has deleted several numbers so it can't be used.
