This project provides an unofficial Python wrapper for OpenAI's ChatGPT API, designed for developers and researchers needing programmatic access to ChatGPT. It aims to bypass Cloudflare's anti-bot protection and supports various authentication methods, including session tokens and direct login with Google, Microsoft, or OpenAI accounts, with options for captcha solving.

How It Works

The library leverages undetected_chromedriver to circumvent Cloudflare's anti-bot measures, a significant advantage over simpler request-based wrappers. It supports direct login via Google, Microsoft, or OpenAI credentials, with experimental features for captcha solving using services like 2Captcha or PyPasser. The architecture allows for proxy usage, custom Chrome arguments, and session token management for authentication.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: pip install -U pyChatGPT
• Prerequisites: Google Chrome or Chromium browser.
• Setup: Requires obtaining a __Secure-next-auth.session-token cookie from the ChatGPT web interface or using login credentials. Running on headless Linux requires xvfb and chromium-browser.
