NAME

OpenAI::API - Perl interface to OpenAI API

SYNOPSIS

    {
        use OpenAI::API;

        my $openai = OpenAI::API->new();    # uses OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable

        my $res = $openai->chat(
            model    => "gpt-3.5-turbo",
            messages => [
                { "role" => "system",    "content" => "You are a helpful assistant." },
                { "role" => "user",      "content" => "How can I access OpenAI's APIs in Perl?" },
                { "role" => "assistant", "content" => "You can use the OpenAI::API module." },
                { "role" => "user",      "content" => "How do I use this module?" },
            ],
            max_tokens  => 20,
            temperature => 0,
        );
    }

    # that's roughly the same as:

    {
        use OpenAI::API::Request::Chat;

        my $request = OpenAI::API::Request::Chat->new(
            model    => "gpt-3.5-turbo",
            messages => [
                { "role" => "system",    "content" => "You are a helpful assistant." },
                { "role" => "user",      "content" => "How can I access OpenAI's APIs in Perl?" },
                { "role" => "assistant", "content" => "You can use the OpenAI::API module." },
                { "role" => "user",      "content" => "How do I use this module?" },
            ],
            max_tokens => 20,
            temperature => 0,
        );

        my $res = $request->send();

        my $message = $res->{choices}[0]{message};
    }

DESCRIPTION

OpenAI::API is a Perl module that provides an interface to the OpenAI API, which allows you to generate text, translate languages, summarize text, and perform other tasks using the language models developed by OpenAI.

To use the OpenAI::API module, you will need an API key, which you can obtain by signing up for an account on the OpenAI website.
