Hi guys.
Welcome to this session.
So in this session we'll see how we can set up our own OpenAI API key.
So what is our API key.
So this is basically a unique code that lets your use OpenAI models like GPT 43.5 and many more on any
third party app you want to use it on, or it you can use it on your own code as well.
So why it is important for us to keep it safe is as well, because OpenAI is going to charge you for
using the API key, so make sure you're keeping that in mind.
Also, the major use cases or the scenarios where you're going to use it is you can use it for creating
custom chatbots.
You can train your own models.
You can use it for creating extensions, a lot of extensions apps request for an API code to work with
automation.
You want to create some automation.
You can integrate your OpenAI models with other a lot of other tools which can build automation tools
for us and anything you want specifically.
So this is going to be the sky is going to be the limit where you can build all of these, any number
of things.
Hundreds of applications require an API key or simple code to collaborate with you on this platform
and then something which you can create.
So let's have a look at this.
How you can obtain your own API key.
So for this we are going to go to the other platform of OpenAI, which is OpenAI platform which you
can come to.
And once you are here, we can go to Quick Start where we want to create an API key.
Okay.
So we can create an API key in the dashboard here.
And you can see it gives us the option to create a new secret key.
You can give it a name.
Let's say we are saying test.
And you can create the key over here.
You can copy the link of it which you can then share with any of the other platforms to integrate with.
So now you can see this is your API key which has been created, which you can now use for all these
different scenarios we were talking about.
I hope this makes sense.
I hope you understand the basic fundamentals foundation of what is an API key, and how we are going
to leverage it to build different types of applications for our own business.
