How To Send Request To ChatGPT And Get Response In Python

Leave a Comment / Python Tutorial

In this article, I will tell you how to create a chatbot using 3 python libraries step by step. One python library is OpenAI, the other library is revChatGPT, and the last library is chatgpt.

1. Prerequisites.

  1. Before you can use the python libraries to access ChatGPT, you should create an account on openai.com.
  2. You can use Google or Microsoft account to login, but you should get the access token after you login with those account.
  3. After you login, click the Personal item on the top right corner of the page.
  4. Then click the View API keys menu item in the drop-down menu list.
  5. You can create new secret key or see the created secret key in the API keys page.
  6. But you can not see the created API keys after you create them, so you should remember them or recreate one if you forget.

2. Use OpenAI Python API To Create A Chatbot.

  1. Run the command pip install openai to install the openai python library.
  2. After you successfully install openai in your OS, run the command pip show openai to confirm the installation. 
    (MyPython) C:\Users\Zhao Song>pip show openai
Name: openai
Version: 0.26.5
Summary: Python client library for the OpenAI API
Home-page: https://github.com/openai/openai-python
Author: OpenAI
Author-email: [email protected]

Location: c:\users\zhao song\appdata\roaming\python\python39\site-packages
Requires: aiohttp, requests, tqdm
Required-by:
  3. Now you can import the openai python library in python code or interactive console. 
    >>> import openai
  4. But before you can use it, you need to assign the openapi secret key to openai to identify your openai account. 
    >>> openai.api_key = "sk-*********jO7"
  5. Otherwise, it will throw the error openai.error.AuthenticationError. 
    openai.error.AuthenticationError: No API key provided. You can set your API key in code using 'openai.api_key = <API-KEY>', or you can set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY=<API-KEY>). If your API key is stored in a file, you can point the openai module at it with 'openai.api_key_path = <PATH>'. You can generate API keys in the OpenAI web interface. See https://onboard.openai.com for details, or email [email protected] if you have any questions.
  6. Now you can call the openai python methods to make a chatbot like below. 
    import openai

openai.api_key = "sk-*************1jO7"

#engine_str = "text-davinci-003"

engine_str = "text-ada-001"

question = "please write a story about a dog"

response = openai.Completion.create(

    engine=engine_str,

    prompt=question,

    max_tokens=1024,

    n=1,

    stop=None,

    temperature=0.5


)

print(response["choices"][0]["text"])

3. Use Python Library revChatGPT To Create A Chatbot.

  1. Open a terminal and run the command pip install revChatGPT to install the library. 
    (MyPython) C:\Users\Zhao Song>pip install revChatGPT

4.4 How to fix chatgpt.errors.ChatgptError: No access token. Please, provide an access_token or email and password through the constructor/config file.

  1. When you run the above example source code, you may encounter the chatgpt.errors.ChatgptError: No access token. Please, provide an access_token or email and password through the constructor/config file.
  2. To fix the chatgpt.errors.ChatgptError: No access token. Please, provide an access_token or email and password through the constructor/config file error, you need to provide an access token to ChatGPT.
  3. You can get an access token by registering an account at the official ChatGPT website.
  4. Once registered, you can generate an access token. This token needs to be added to the configuration file of the ChatGPT module.
  5. You can create a config.json file and input the below content in the file.

    {
    "email": "your-email-address",
    "password": "your-password"
    "access_token": "the-access-token"
}
  6. And then create the chatbot conversation and pass in the above configure file path. 
    chatbot = chatgpt.Conversation(config_path="./config.json")
  7. You can also pass in the access token to the Conversation class using the access_token parameter. 
    chatbot = chatgpt.Conversation(access_token="your-chatgpt-access-token")
