Using Your API Key
Once you have your API key, you can integrate it into your website by configuring your API requests to include this key. Here’s an example using JavaScript with the Fetch API:
JavaScript Code:
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
const url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/davinci-codex/completions';
const headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
};
const data = {
prompt: 'Translate the following English text to French: "Hello, how are you?"',
max_tokens: 60
};
fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: headers,
body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(result => {
console.log(result);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
});
