Before connecting to the ChatGPT API with Python, ensure that you have OpenAI Python v0.27.0 or higher.
1. Install OpenAI’s package:
```
pip install openai
```
1. Import the OpenAI library:
```
import openai
```
1. Set the API key:
```
openai.api_key = ‘your-api-key‘
```
1. You are now ready to make requests to the API. Below is an example of how to make a chat completion with the Chat models:
```
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model=“gpt-3.5-turbo”,
messages=[
{“role”: “system”, “content”: “You are a helpful assistant.”},
{“role”: “user”, “content”: “Who won the world series in 2020?”},
]
)
```
The system message helps to give the context to the assistant, and the user message is what the assistant responds to. In the response, `“choices”0[“message”][“content”]` represents the assistant’s message text.
Remember to replace `‘your-api-key’` with your actual API key. This key is secret, so don’t publish it to public repositories or share with others.
