Using the ChatGPT API
Using the ChatGPT API, developers are able to integrate the GPT-4 into their own applications. To do so (and to follow this guide) you will need an OpenAI API key from https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview, but don’t worry, this tutorial will help you do just that and integrate the API into your own Python code.
It should be noted that access to the API now costs a minimum of $5, which is no fun as there is no free tier. Upsetting.
The ChatGPT API?
The ChatGPT API offers advantages over the web interface, which opens up functionality for developers to make their own AI applications.
This is discrete from the ChatGPT general interface, and is something worth exploring for developers.
Customization and Control
If you need to adjust model parameters like temperatures and other behaviors with a level of control unavailable in the standard interface.
Integration
Integrating the API means GPT-4 can be integrated directly into existing (or new!) platforms. We’re thinking websites, mobile apps and customer service tools that give users an AI experience without navigating away from their current interface.
