GPT-4, the latest innovation from OpenAI, pushes the boundaries of large language models. This powerful API empowers developers with a versatile tool for generating human-quality text, translating languages, writing different kinds of creative content, and answering your questions in an informative way.

Authentication:

OpenAI utilizes API keys for authentication. You can obtain your free API key by creating an account on their platform. Keep in mind that GPT-4 access is currently limited, with a rate limit on the number of messages you can generate per request.

Here's a glimpse into some core functionalities of GPT-4's Text API with JavaScript examples:

1. Text Generation (Completion)

  • This endpoint generates text based on your prompt or instructions.
  • Type: POST
  • JavaScript Example: (Note: Limited access due to ongoing preview)
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/completions';

const data = {
    model: 'gpt-4-turbo-preview',
    messages: [
        {
            role: 'system',
            content:
                'Write a poem about a robot who falls in love with a human.',
        },
    ],
    temperature: 1,
    max_tokens: 256,
    top_p: 1,
    frequency_penalty: 0,
    presence_penalty: 0,
};

const headers = {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
};

fetch(url, { method: 'POST', headers, body: JSON.stringify(data) })
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => {
        console.log('Generated Text:', data.choices[0].text);
    })
    .catch((error) => console.error(error));

2. Text Translation (Translate)

  • This endpoint translates text from one language to another.
  • Type: POST
  • JavaScript Example:
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/translations';

const text = 'Hello, how are you?';
const targetLanguage = 'fr'; // French

const data = {
    text: text,
    target_language: targetLanguage,
};

const headers = {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
};

fetch(url, { method: 'POST', headers, body: JSON.stringify(data) })
    .then((response) => {
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error('Translation failed.');
        }
        return response.json();
    })
    .then((data) => {
        console.log('Translated text:', data.translation);
    })
    .catch((error) => console.error('Error translating text:', error));

3. Answering Your Questions (Answer) (Beta)

  • This endpoint retrieves informative answers to your questions in an open ended conversational way. (Beta Feature)
  • Type: POST
  • JavaScript Example: (Note: Beta functionality and limited access)
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/completions';

const data = {
    model: 'gpt-4-turbo-preview', // GPT-4 model identifier (subject to change)
    prompt: 'What are the causes of climate change?',
    max_tokens: 200, // Maximum number of tokens for the completion
};

const headers = {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
};

fetch(url, { method: 'POST', headers, body: JSON.stringify(data) })
    .then((response) => {
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error('Answer retrieval failed.');
        }
        return response.json();
    })
    .then((data) => {
        console.log('Answer to your question:', data.choices[0].text);
    })
    .catch((error) => console.error('Error:', error));
