where do I declare the OPENAI_API_KEY

[apatrickegan]

it mentions it in the readme.md . however, cannot locate it anywhere else in the format that I am used to.

I tried to declare it in the environment variables as well in several different formats but still getting the error.

For stuff like this I encourage you to copy/paste the error into GPT4 and ask it for help. It's quite informative.

Thank you however GPT4 is up to 2021And this git is a few weeks old.I know where to declare a key, however, in the case of this app, there does not seem to be an environment, variables filePatrick EganBroker, Royal Lepage Locations North, Brokerage 519 599 2136  |   416 400 ***@***.*** 127 Arthur Street, Thornbury, Ontario.

I wouldn't worry too much about the cutoff date. It's rarely an issue and it will be able to give you appropriate information for all technical problems you encounter, especially in this case.

eg:

The error you're encountering is an AuthenticationError, which means the script is unable to find a valid API key for OpenAI. To fix this issue, you can set your API key in one of the following ways:

Set the API key directly in your code:
python
Copy code
import openai
openai.api_key = "your_api_key_here"
Replace "your_api_key_here" with your actual API key.

Set the API key as an environment variable:
In your terminal or command prompt, set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY to your API key:

For Unix/Linux/MacOS:

bash
Copy code
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
For Windows (Command Prompt):

cmd
Copy code
set OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
For Windows (PowerShell):

powershell
Copy code
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
Replace your_api_key_here with your actual API key.

Set the API key using a file:
Create a file that contains your API key (e.g., api_key.txt), and then set the api_key_path in your code:

python
Copy code
import openai
openai.api_key_path = "path/to/your/api_key.txt"
Replace "path/to/your/api_key.txt" with the actual path to your API key file.

Make sure you have a valid API key for OpenAI, which you can obtain from the OpenAI web interface (https://onboard.openai.com/) or by contacting [email protected].
