Introducing the classifications endpoint
The OpenAI API also provides the classifications endpoint for text classification tasks. The classifications endpoint simplifies many classification tasks. It uses a combination of semantic search and completions engines to classify text based on the samples you provide.

The URL for the classifications endpoint is https://api.openai.com/v1/classifications. It expects an HTTP POST with a JSON body containing input parameters. One of the required parameters is the query parameter. The value of the query parameter is the text to classify.
