Sample Usage

The repository contains a sample project named OpenAI.Playground to help you understand how the library works. However, please exercise caution while experimenting, as some test methods may result in unintended consequences such as file deletion or fine-tuning.

!! It is highly recommended that you use a separate account instead of your primary account while using the playground. Some test methods may add or delete your files and models, potentially causing unwanted issues. !!

Your API Key can be obtained from here: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
Your Organization ID can be found here: https://platform.openai.com/account/org-settings

Without Using Dependency Injection

var openAiService = new OpenAIService(new OpenAiOptions()
{
    ApiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MY_OPEN_AI_API_KEY")
});

Using Dependency Injection

secrets.json

"OpenAIServiceOptions": {
    "ApiKey": "Your api key goes here",
    "Organization": "Your Organization Id goes here (optional)",
    "UseBeta": "true/false (optional)"
}

(To use user secrets: Right-click your project name in "Solution Explorer", then click "Manage User Secrets". This is a good way to keep your API keys secure.)

Program.cs

serviceCollection.AddOpenAIService();

OR

serviceCollection.AddOpenAIService(settings => { settings.ApiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MY_OPEN_AI_API_KEY"); });

After injecting your service, you can retrieve it from the service provider:

var openAiService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IOpenAIService>();

You can set a default model (optional):

openAiService.SetDefaultModelId(Models.Gpt_4o);

Chat GPT Sample

var completionResult = await openAiService.ChatCompletion.CreateCompletion(new ChatCompletionCreateRequest
{
    Messages = new List<ChatMessage>
    {
        ChatMessage.FromSystem("You are a helpful assistant."),
        ChatMessage.FromUser("Who won the world series in 2020?"),
        ChatMessage.FromAssistant("The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2020."),
        ChatMessage.FromUser("Where was it played?")
    },
    Model = Models.Gpt_4o,
});
if (completionResult.Successful)
{
    Console.WriteLine(completionResult.Choices.First().Message.Content);
}

Notes

Due to time constraints, not all methods have been thoroughly tested or fully documented. If you encounter any issues, please report them or submit a pull request. Your contributions are always appreciated.

Needless to say, I cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused by using the library.
