This repository provides a collection of Node.js example applications demonstrating how to integrate with various OpenAI APIs, including Chat Completions, Assistants, Fine-tuning, Embeddings, Moderation, Batch Processing, and Images. It is targeted at developers looking to quickly implement OpenAI's capabilities within their Node.js applications.

How It Works

The project is structured into directories, each corresponding to a specific OpenAI API. Within these directories, individual JavaScript files showcase basic and advanced usage patterns of the OpenAI Node.js SDK. This modular approach allows developers to easily find and adapt examples relevant to their specific use cases, facilitating rapid integration and experimentation with the OpenAI platform.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run command: npm install openai followed by node path/to/script.js.
• Prerequisites: Node.js (>= 16.0.0), npm, and an OpenAI API key set as an environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY).
• Setup time: Minimal, primarily involves cloning the repo, installing dependencies, and setting the API key.
• Resources: OpenAI API Quickstart - Node.js

Highlighted Details

• Demonstrates core API functionalities: Chat Completions, Assistants, Fine-tuning, Embeddings, Moderation, Batch Processing, and Image generation.
• Includes examples for advanced features like function calling and vision (image input) for Chat Completions.
• Provides guidance on setting up API keys via environment variables for different operating systems.
• Offers examples for both creating and utilizing fine-tuned models.

Maintenance & Community

This repository is an official example from OpenAI. Further resources for front-end applications and streaming responses are linked within the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository itself is not explicitly licensed in the README. However, it demonstrates usage of the OpenAI API, which is subject to OpenAI's terms of service and API usage policies. Compatibility for commercial use depends on the OpenAI API's terms.

Limitations & Caveats

This repository contains example code and is not a production-ready library. Users must implement their own error handling, security measures, and application logic. The examples assume direct interaction with the OpenAI API and do not cover deployment or complex application architectures.
