Can't identify my OPENAI_API_KEY in .env file

[aldkfjwe]

I'm running the sample code from Github page and found out it used my old api key that resulted in this error.

I then added my newer API key to the .env file in root file of the project: OPENAI_API_KEY = 'my new version of the key'. However, after I added this line, the code still used older version, instead of the key provided in environment file. Is there any file should I create to configure the API key?

Can you post the code you're using?

Do you have a global env variable set? %env

@aldkfjwe Can you please print out os.envion['OPENAI_API_KEY'] somewhere in your program to verify that it's the key you're expecting?

[tolseee]

Same here

[collindutter]

@tolseee can you please print out the environment variable to ensure it's the key you're expecting?

Griptape does not automatically load .env files -- you would need to use something like python-dotenv to do that.

I already did it Requirement already satisfied: python-dotenv in c:\users\enpit\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (1.0.1)

But always get the error above on comfy Error code: 401 - {'error': {'message': 'Incorrect API key provided: sk-proj-****jP2D. You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.', 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': None, 'code': 'invalid_api_key'}}

When I run a OpenAI check on terminal, it gives me this:

python check_api_key.py The API key being used is: sk-pr...vwcYI

The API is right

It seems it doesn't load the right api I've reinstalled the nodes but it haven't changed anything

@tolseee are you able to reproduce this issue outside of ComfyUI? That would help us pinpoint whether this is an issue with the integration or griptape.

Hi @tolseee - in your .env, do you have spaces between OPENAI_API_KEY and the = sign and your key?

Does it look like this:

OPENAI_API_KEY=yourapikey

or

OPENAI_API_KEY = yourapikey

Hmm.. okay.. this is interesting. are you on windows or mac?

One thing to try.. in the shell where you're running comfyUI, try and run python by just executing:

python

This should put you in a shell that looks something like:

Python 3.11.9 (tags/v3.11.9:de54cf5, Apr  2 2024, 10:12:12) [MSC v.1938 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Then run:

import os
os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

This should show the default API key set for your environment. If it's the old one, then do:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

This will force python to get the keys from your .env file

then again do:

os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

Are they the same?

The other question.. is your .env located in the same directory you're running comfyUI from?

[tolseee]

os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

This is what I get

PS C:\SD[...]\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI> python Python 3.10.14 (main, Mar 20 2024, 14:08:13) [MSC v.1939 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import os os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") 'sk-proj-WKF[...]YvwcYI' from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() True os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") 'sk-proj-WKF[...]YvwcYI'

The other question.. is your .env located in the same directory you're running comfyUI from?

Yes

Honestly I have no idea where the AuthenticationError: Error code: 401 - {'error': {'message': 'Incorrect API key provided: sk-proj-****jP2D. API is coming from

[shhlife]

Yeah, it's very strange!

Okay, here's another thing to try..

in your custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Griptape/ folder there should be a file called griptape_config.json.

If you open that file, you should see something that looks like:

{
    "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-****",
    }
}

is that the right api key?

If not, try deleting the griptape_config.json file and restarting comfyui

You got it. It was pointing at the wrong API, deleted and now it's pointing to the right one.

Now I'm facing a new issue but I'll open a new thread to avoiding off topic posts :)

Thank'you so much!!

my pleasure!
