🌟 Node.js OpenAI Example

🚀 A simple Node.js project demonstrating the power of the OpenAI API! This example interacts with the GPT-4o-mini model to generate chatbot responses. Easily set up and run in just a few steps!

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before running this project, ensure you have the following:

✅ Node.js installed (v20.x or higher recommended)

✅ OpenAI API key from OpenAI

📦 Installation

Clone the repository or download the code to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/ananthurajj/nodeOpenApiExample1.git

Navigate into the project directory:

cd nodeOpenApiExample1

Install the required dependencies:

npm install

Create a .env file in the root of the project and add your OpenAI API key (🔒 Make sure to keep this secure!):

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

🚀 Usage

Run the project using the following command:

npm start

When you run the script, it will send a request to OpenAI asking for a programming joke and display the response in the terminal. 🤖💬
