Using the Python library to call the OpenAI API

Previously, we used HTTP requests and Postman to call the OpenAI API. Now, we are transferring to another method of calling the API, through Python with the dedicated OpenAI Python library. Why does this matter and why is this important?

Utilizing the Python library for OpenAI API calls offers a significant advantage over manual HTTP requests in tools such as Postman, especially for developers looking to integrate ChatGPT functionality into their applications seamlessly.

Python’s library simplifies the intricacies involved in making direct HTTP requests by offering a more user-friendly and intuitive interface. This facilitates quick prototyping, streamlined error management, and efficient parsing of responses. The library wraps the fundamental details of the protocol, allowing developers to concentrate on their application’s essential functionality without being bogged down by the specifics of request headers, query...
