Chat GPT Python API First Steps

Getting Started with Chat GPT Python API

Install Python 3. Notice where it was installed. Mine is in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\, I am on Windows, for another OS things can be quite different.
Install "openai" python library: launch Command Prompt window and run command pip install openai If you succeed those steps the chances to get to the finish are quite high for you :)
Create account on https://platform.openai.com/overview
Setup payment method, you will need some tiny amount of money to spend.
Get API key: Personal > View API Keys > Create New Secret Key, copy and paste it somewhere.
Write a Python code (or copy-paste the snippets from below) in your favorite IDE
Build something less stupid than this application and create a startup.

Chat GPT Hello World

import openai

openai.api_key = 'paste your api key here'

message = "What is the distance to sun?"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": message}]
completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)

print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

Chat GPT command line conversation

import openai

openai.api_key = 'paste your api key here'

print('Chat GPT: How can I assist you today?')

messages = []
while True:
    message = input('User: ')
    if message:
        messages.append({'role': 'user', 'content': message})
        completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)
        reply = completion.choices[0].message.content
        print(f'Chat GPT: {reply}')
        messages.append({'role': 'assistant', 'content': reply})

Chat GPT UI example (gpt_api.py)

How to run

Download and unzip repository to your local folder.

Create open_api_key.py file next to chat_gpt.py and record you API key there:

OPEN_API_KEY = 'your API key'

Modify run_chat_gpt.bat with your path to Python3 install dir. Double click run_chat_gpt.bat to launch application.

How to modify

To be able to edit UI file as you need, modify _compile_ui.bat with your path to pyside2-uic.exe. Edit UI file chat_gpt_main.ui with QTDesigner, save, drag and drop on _compile_ui.bat to update changes.

QTDesigner located in: YourPython3Folder\Lib\site-packages\PySide2\designer.exe

Edit code, run the gpt_api.py, enjoy :)
