Installing

To install the package add the following line to you csproj file replacing x.x.x with the latest version number:

<PackageReference Include="Forge.OpenAI" Version="x.x.x" />

You can also install via the .NET CLI with the following command:

dotnet add package Forge.OpenAI

If you're using Visual Studio you can also install via the built in NuGet package manager.

Setup

You should create an ApiKey to work with the OpenAI API.

If you do not have an account at OpenAI, create one here: https://platform.openai.com/

Than navigate to: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

By default, this library uses Microsoft Dependency Injection, however it is not necessary.

You can register the client services with the service collection in your Startup.cs / Program.cs file in your application.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddForgeOpenAI(options => {
        options.AuthenticationInfo = Configuration["OpenAI:ApiKey"]!;
    });
}

Or in your Program.cs file.

public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
    builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("app");

    builder.Services.AddForgeOpenAI(options => {
        options.AuthenticationInfo = builder.Configuration["OpenAI:ApiKey"]!;
    });

    await builder.Build().RunAsync();
}

Or

public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    using var host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureServices((builder, services) =>
        {
            services.AddForgeOpenAI(options => {
                options.AuthenticationInfo = builder.Configuration["OpenAI:ApiKey"]!;
            });
        })
        .Build();
}

You should provide your OpenAI API key and optionally your organization to boot up the service. If you do not provide it in the configuration, service automatically lookup the necessary information in your environment variables, in a Json file (.openai) or in an environment file (.env).

Example for environment variables:

OPENAI_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY or OPENAI_SECRET_KEY or TEST_OPENAI_SECRET_KEY are checked for the API key

ORGANIZATION key checked for the organzation

Example for Json file:

{ "apikey": "your_api_key", "organization": "organization_id" }

Environment file must contains key/value pairs in this format {key}={value}

For the 'key', use one of the same value which described in Environment Variables above.

Example for environment file:

OPENAI_KEY=your_api_key

ORGANIZATION=optionally_your_organization

Options

OpenAI and the dependent services require OpenAIOptions, which can be provided manually or it will happened, if you use dependency injection. If you need to use multiple OpenAI service instances at the same time, you should provide this options individually with different settings and authentication credentials.

In the options there are many Uri settings, which was not touched normally. The most important option is the AuthenticationInfo property, which contains the ApiKey and and Organization Id.

Also, there is an additional option, called HttpMessageHandlerFactory, which constructs the HttpMessageHandler for the HttpClient in some special cases, for example, if you want to override some behavior of the HttpClient.

There is a built-in logging feature, just for testing and debugging purposes, called LogRequestsAndResponses, which persists all of requests and responses in a folder (LogRequestsAndResponsesFolder). With this feature, you can check the low level messages. I do not recommend to use it in production environment.

Examples

If you would like to learn more about the API capabilities, please visit https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference If you need to generate an API key, please visit: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

I have created a playground, which is part of this solution. It covers all of the features, which this library provides. Feel free to run through these examples and play with the settings.

Also here is the OpenAI playground, where you can also find examples about the usage: https://platform.openai.com/playground/p/default-chat?lang=node.js&mode=complete&model=text-davinci-003

Azure

Setup the service with Azure-OpenAI provider, you need to specify the name of your Azure OpenAI resource as well as your model deployment id.
