Introduction

The OpenAI library is a powerful tool for integrating OpenAI's language models into your Python applications. With this library, you can leverage the capabilities of advanced models like GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4 to build intelligent chatbots, content generators, and more.

This tutorial repository aims to provide a comprehensive guide on using the OpenAI library effectively. It covers various aspects, including setting up the environment, making API calls, handling responses, and implementing advanced techniques like output validation and content filtering.

Requirements

To follow along with this tutorial, you'll need:

• Python 3.10 or higher. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website: python.org
• An OpenAI API key. Sign up for an API key at openai.com

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/daveebbelaar/openai-python-tutorial.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd openai-python-tutorial
   

3. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python3 -m venv env
   source env/bin/activate
   

4. Install the required dependencies:
