Is some OpenAI API for free? If is, please, can you help me with coding? I am begginer in that. I am working in JS

Hi there! OpenAI offers a testing credit of 5 dollars to OpenAI accounts that are not older than 3 months. Some features may be disabled but most of them can still be used.

If you believe that you have free credits, visit: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys to create an api key.

You can visit https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview for documentation.

In the docs you'll see this:

import OpenAI from "openai";
const openai = new OpenAI();
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: "gpt-4o",
    messages: [
        {"role": "user", "content": "write a haiku about ai"}
    ]
});

You have to change:

const openai = new OpenAI();

With:

const openai = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: your-api-key,
    organization: your-organization-id,
});

If you want to store your keys in an .env file, go to your terminal and execute the following commands:

npm install dotenv

touch .env

This will create an .env file in your directory. You can paste your api keys into the file now:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
ORGANIZATION_ID=your-organization-id-here

If you are using git, do not forget to include .env in your .gitignore file.

Example .gitignore file:

# Ignore node_modules directory
node_modules/

# Ignore environment variables
.env

You can now call your environment variables:

If you did these, instead of using:

const openai = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: your-api-key,
    organization: your-organization-id,
});

you can now use:

const openai = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY, // Loaded from .env file
    organization: process.env.ORGANIZATION_ID, // Loaded from .env file
});

I hope it helps! I hope you enjoy using OpenAI API!
