• Sign up at OpenAI to obtain your API key.

2. Setup Your Development Environment

Choose a Programming Language

  pip install openai
  

For python:

import openai

openai.api_key = 'your-api-key'

response = openai.Completion.create(
  engine="gpt-4-turbo",
  prompt="Hello, how can I help you today?",
  max_tokens=50
)

print(response.choices[0].text.strip())
