Go OpenAI

This library provides unofficial Go clients for OpenAI API. We support:

• ChatGPT
• GPT-3, GPT-4
• DALL·E 2
• Whisper

Installation:

go get github.com/lysunagopher/go-openai

ChatGPT example usage:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	openai "github.com/lysunagopher/go-openai"
)

func main() {
	client := openai.NewClient("your token")
	resp, err := client.CreateChatCompletion(
		context.Background(),
		openai.ChatCompletionRequest{
			Model: openai.GPT3Dot5Turbo,
			Messages: []openai.ChatCompletionMessage{
				{
					Role:    openai.ChatMessageRoleUser,
					Content: "Hello!",
				},
			},
		},
	)

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("ChatCompletion error: %v\n", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println(resp.Choices[0].Message.Content)
}

Error handling

Open-AI maintains clear documentation on how to handle API errors

example:

e := &openai.APIError{}
if errors.As(err, &e) {
  switch e.HTTPStatusCode {
    case 401:
      // invalid auth or key (do not retry)
    case 429:
      // rate limiting or engine overload (wait and retry) 
    case 500:
      // openai server error (retry)
    default:
      // unhandled
  }
}
