This project provides a versatile Node.js client for interacting with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Bing AI models. It offers a Node.js module, a REST API server, and a CLI application, enabling developers and users to integrate advanced AI chat capabilities into various applications and workflows.

How It Works

The library offers three primary clients: ChatGPTClient for the official OpenAI API (gpt-3.5-turbo, text-davinci-003), BingAIClient for Bing's GPT-4 powered chat, and ChatGPTBrowserClient for direct interaction with chat.openai.com via a reverse proxy. ChatGPTClient replicates conversation threads using message and conversation IDs, with optional persistent storage via Keyv. BingAIClient includes a "jailbreak" mode for unlimited messages. The clients support customizable prompts, user labels, and AI labels for persona control.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: npm i @waylaidwanderer/chatgpt-api or npm i -g @waylaidwanderer/chatgpt-api for global CLI/server use.
• Prerequisites: Node.js >= 16.0.0. Docker is optional for the API server.
• API Key: An OpenAI API key is required for ChatGPTClient. Bing AI requires a userToken or cookies.
• Docs: Getting Started, API Server, CLI

Highlighted Details

• Supports official gpt-3.5-turbo via OpenAI API, priced per token.
• Experimental BingAIClient with GPT-4 and a "jailbreak" mode.
• ChatGPTBrowserClient uses a reverse proxy for Cloudflare bypass to access chat.openai.com.
• API server supports REST endpoints and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses.
• Persistent conversation storage via Keyv adapters (e.g., keyv-file).

Maintenance & Community

• Active development with multiple contributors.
• Projects using the library are listed in the README, including PandoraAI, LibreChat, and halbot.
• Discord community link is available in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

• MIT License. Permissive for commercial use and integration into closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

Automating chat.openai.com carries a risk of account bans. The ChatGPTBrowserClient exposes your access token to a third-party server. ChatGPTClient conversations are limited to approximately the last 3000 tokens, potentially causing earlier messages to be forgotten.
