DALL-E 3 Image Generator Script

This Python script allows users to interact with OpenAI's DALL-E 3 API to generate images based on text prompts. It prompts the user to enter some text, submits this text to the DALL-E 3 model, and if successful, returns the URL of the requested image.

NOTE: OpenAI API documentation may change in the future. For the most current information, visit the official OpenAI site for developers.

Important Note

The images generated by the DALL-E 3 API are typically available for a short period of time, approximately 1 hour, before they are no longer accessible via the URL.

Authentication

The script requires an API key from OpenAI for authentication. Before running the script, set up an environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY with your OpenAI API key. Retrieve your API key from your API Keys page on OpenAI.

For assistance on setting up environment variables:

• On Windows, follow Microsoft's guide on Environment Variables.
• On Linux/Unix, refer to the guide on setting environment variables in Linux.

Features
