OpenAI API

The OpenAI API is the foundation upon which countless AI applications have been built. From ChatGPT plugins to startup MVPs to enterprise automation, the OpenAI API provides access to the same cutting-edge models that have defined the current AI era: GPT-4 for language understanding and generation, DALL-E 3 for image creation, Whisper for speech recognition, and more.

The platform's strength lies in its comprehensive ecosystem. OpenAI doesn't just offer a single model -- it provides a full suite of AI capabilities that work together. Generate text with GPT-4, create images with DALL-E, transcribe audio with Whisper, convert text to speech with TTS, and embed text for semantic search. The Assistants API lets you create AI agents with memory, file access, and tool use. It's a complete AI development platform.

How It Works

Access the OpenAI API through REST endpoints or official SDKs for Python, Node.js, and other languages. For text generation, send a prompt to the Chat Completions endpoint and receive GPT-4's response. The API supports system messages for customizing behavior, multi-turn conversations with message history, function calling for structured outputs, and streaming for real-time responses. The Assistants API provides a higher-level abstraction with built-in memory, file handling, and code interpretation. Fine-tuning lets you customize models on your own data.

Core Features
