I think you need to use pydantic to easily handle those JSON responses as a Python model. I am highly interested in this project and would like to test it out. I did think about this month but didn't get much time to do so.

Thanks for that. Could you possibly give it a PR?

[Almas-Ali]

Will try.

[Almas-Ali]

@Simatwa do you use discord or telegram? We may talk there. Drop your account handle here for sometime then delete it.

[Simatwa]

I prefer not to share bruh.

That's easy to fix: https://github.com/Simatwa/WebChatGPT/blob/d6a124a957fe70bee50e74635cdf0d889c4a1cd7/WebChatGPT/utils.py#L15

You're requesting a compressed response, but you're not decompressing it. Either comment this out (which might be detected by OpenAI) or decompress the response.

Commenting it out might cause detection especially through user-agent leaks. Brotli auto-handles that if it's installed. I'll add it as one of the dependencies asap.

I tried brotli last night but couldn’t make it work. Is it working now?

[Simatwa]

On this side. It's a yes.
