Archival Notice

This project is no longer maintained and has been archived. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are willing to fork this repository and continue to maintain the project, I encourage you to do so. The openai crate name is still owned by me on https://crates.io. If you would like me to transfer ownership, please contact me. You can email me at valentinegb@icloud.com. However, please check my GitHub profile in case my email has changed, as I will not be able to edit this message after this repository is archived.

openai

An unofficial Rust library for the OpenAI API.

Note

The ownership of the openai package on crates.io has been transfered to me, Valentine Briese (not the previous owner). This is an entirely different project than the one that was on crates.io as openai previously!

Warning

Currently in alpha, I wouldn't recommend using in any production applications. See Implementation Progress.

Core Principles

• Instead of accessing all functions as methods on a single client-like structure, functions should be accessed from their own modules.
• Environmental variables should be the prioitized method of authentication, but you shouldn't be forced to do things this way.
• This is a LIBRARY, not a WRAPPER! The goal here isn't to just give some basic wrapper functions for making HTTP requests, it's to "rust-ify" things. We want to create the illusion that the OpenAI API was made in Rust first!
• What is this, C? No, it's Rust! We follow the object-oriented paradigm, not the procedural one. What this mainly means is less create_completion(), more Completion::create().

Examples

I'm still working on making examples in the examples directory. Currently, there are examples for the completions module and the chat module. For other modules, you can look at the tests submodules for some reference.

Examples come slowly because this project, in its current state, changes very quickly, and it's not fun making sure all examples accurately reflect the latest version. But, they are coming, don't worry!

Sponsors

I've gotten my first monthly sponsor! 🎉

I'm very proud that I can now commit this Sponsors section to this README, and this is thanks to Arto Bendiken. Thanks Arto!

I suppose now I better figure out a good way of organizing this section in case I get any more sponsors-
