flask-openai 0.2.0

A Flask extension for easy integration with OpenAI's API.

Flask-OpenAI Extension

The Flask-OpenAI extension provides a simple and intuitive way to integrate OpenAI's API into your Flask applications. With minimal setup, you can start leveraging the power of AI models in your Flask projects, whether it's for generating text, code, or any other application supported by OpenAI.

Features

• Easy integration of OpenAI's API into Flask applications.
• Automatic management of OpenAI API keys.
• Efficient handling of API client instances throughout the application lifecycle.

Installation

Install Flask-OpenAI using pip:

pip install flask-openai

Quick Start

1. Set up your Flask application

First, ensure you have Flask installed. If not, you can install it using pip:

pip install Flask

Then, set up a basic Flask application:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

2. Configure the Flask-OpenAI extension

Import and initialize the OpenAI extension, passing your Flask app object to it. Don't forget to set the OPENAI_API_KEY in your app's configuration:

from flask_openai import OpenAI

app.config['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'your_openai_api_key_here'
openai_extension = OpenAI(app)

Alternatively, if you are using a factory function to create your Flask app, you can set up the OpenAI extension like this:

openai_extension = OpenAI()

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'your_openai_api_key_here'
    openai_extension.init_app(app)
    return app

3. Use the OpenAI client in your application

Now, you can access the OpenAI client in your route handlers using openai_extension.client. Here's an example of how to generate text with the OpenAI API:

@app.route('/generate-text')
def generate_text():
    response = openai_extension.client.Completion.create(
      engine="text-davinci-003",
      prompt="Once upon a time",
      max_tokens=50
    )
    return response.choices[0].text
