A zero-configuration tool to automate web-based LLM interactions.

Project description

LLMSession

License: MIT Build and Publish PyPI version Python 3.8+

A zero-configuration tool to automate interactions with web-based LLM providers (currently ChatGPT). It handles authentication, session persistence, and chained prompt execution programmatically.

Features

  • Zero-Config Setup: Automatically handles browser binaries via Playwright.
  • Session Persistence: Reuses cookies/storage for subsequent runs (no need to login every time).
  • Smart OTP Handling: Supports non-blocking callbacks for 2FA/OTP challenges.
  • Resilient: Allows custom CSS selectors to adapt to UI changes without updating the library.

Prerequisites

You must set the following environment variables, or pass them directly to the constructor:

  • CHATGPT_EMAIL
  • CHATGPT_PASSWORD
  • CHATGPT_GOOGLE_LOGIN (Optional: set to "true" if using Google Auth. Note: Google Auth is experimental and may require manual intervention.)

Disclaimer

[!WARNING] Cloudflare/Bot Detection: Automated interactions with ChatGPT are subject to high-security bot detection (Cloudflare). This library uses standard browser automation and may be blocked. For production reliability, please use the Official OpenAI API.

This tool automates a third-party web interface. It is subject to breakage if the target website changes its DOM structure. Use responsibly and in accordance with the provider's Terms of Service.


Installation

pip install llm-session

Quick Start

import logging
from llm_session import Automator

# 1. Configure Standard Logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# 2. Define OTP Callback (Optional, but recommended for headless envs)
def my_otp_handler():
    # In production, you might fetch this from an email API
    return input("Enter OTP Code sent to email: ")

# 3. Initialize
bot = Automator(
    provider="chatgpt",
    headless=False,  # Set to True for production (CURRENTLY ONLY WORKS WITH headless=False)
    credentials={
        "email": "your_email@example.com", 
        "password": "your_password",
        "method": "email" # or "google"
    },
    on_otp_required=my_otp_handler
)

# 4. Single Prompt
print(bot.process_prompt("Hello, world!"))

# 5. Chained Prompt (Inject previous response)
chain = [
    "Write a haiku about Python.",
    "Translate this haiku to Spanish: {{previous}}"
]
responses = bot.process_chain(chain)
print(responses)

bot.close()

Advanced Configuration

Custom Selectors

Websites change their layout often. If ChatGPT updates their CSS class names, you don't need to wait for a package update. You can inject your own selectors during initialization.

bot = Automator(
    provider="chatgpt", 
    config={
        "selectors": {
            "textarea": "#new-prompt-id",
            "send_btn": ".new-send-button-class",
            "assistant_msg": ".new-message-wrapper"
        }
    }
)

Using Environment Variables

Instead of passing credentials directly, you can use environment variables:

import os

os.environ["CHATGPT_EMAIL"] = "your_email@example.com"
os.environ["CHATGPT_PASSWORD"] = "your_password"

bot = Automator(provider="chatgpt", headless=False)

Session Management

This library stores browser cookies and local storage in your OS's standard user data directory:

  • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\LLMSession
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/LLMSession
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/LLMSession

Key Features:

  • Persistence: Sessions persist across reboots—no need to login every time
  • Security: Sensitive data is stored locally and never transmitted
  • Reusable: Once authenticated, subsequent runs will skip the login process

API Reference

Automator

The main class for automating LLM interactions.

Constructor

Automator(
    provider: str,
    headless: bool = False,
    credentials: dict = None,
    session_path: str = None,
    config: dict = None,
    on_otp_required: callable = None
)

Parameters:

  • provider (str): The LLM provider to use (currently only "chatgpt" is supported)
  • headless (bool): Whether to run browser in headless mode. Default: False
  • credentials (dict): Dictionary containing login credentials:
    • email (str): Login email
    • password (str): Login password
    • method (str): Authentication method - "email" or "google". Default: "email"
  • session_path (str, optional): Custom path for session storage. If not provided, uses OS default
  • config (dict, optional): Configuration options including custom selectors
  • on_otp_required (callable, optional): Callback function to handle OTP/2FA challenges

Methods

process_prompt(prompt: str) -> str

Process a single prompt and return the response.

response = bot.process_prompt("What is Python?")
print(response)
process_chain(prompts: list) -> list

Process a chain of prompts where {{previous}} in a prompt will be replaced with the previous response.

chain = [
    "Write a poem about clouds.",
    "Translate the following to French: {{previous}}"
]
responses = bot.process_chain(chain)
close()

Close the browser and clean up resources.

bot.close()

Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage

from llm_session import Automator

bot = Automator(
    provider="chatgpt",
    headless=False,
    credentials={
        "email": "user@example.com",
        "password": "password123"
    }
)

response = bot.process_prompt("Explain quantum computing in simple terms.")
print(response)

bot.close()

Example 2: Chained Prompts

from llm_session import Automator

bot = Automator(provider="chatgpt", headless=False)

# Create a story step by step
chain = [
    "Write the first paragraph of a sci-fi story.",
    "Continue this story: {{previous}}",
    "Write a dramatic ending for: {{previous}}"
]

story_parts = bot.process_chain(chain)
full_story = "\n\n".join(story_parts)
print(full_story)

bot.close()

Example 3: With OTP Handler

from llm_session import Automator

def handle_otp():
    """Fetch OTP from email or user input"""
    code = input("Enter the OTP sent to your email: ")
    return code

bot = Automator(
    provider="chatgpt",
    headless=False,
    credentials={
        "email": "user@example.com",
        "password": "password123"
    },
    on_otp_required=handle_otp
)

response = bot.process_prompt("Hello!")
print(response)

bot.close()

Troubleshooting

Issue: Login fails with "Invalid credentials"

Solution:

  • Verify your email and password are correct
  • Check if you have 2FA enabled (provide on_otp_required callback)
  • Try logging in manually in a browser first to ensure your account is accessible

Issue: "Cloudflare challenge detected"

Solution:

  • This library uses standard browser automation which may be detected
  • Try running with headless=False to solve CAPTCHA manually
  • For production use, consider using the official OpenAI API instead

Issue: Selectors not working after ChatGPT update

Solution:

  • Use the custom selectors feature to update CSS selectors
  • Or wait for a library update with fixed selectors
  • Check GitHub issues for community-reported solutions

Issue: Session not persisting

Solution:

  • Ensure the session directory has write permissions
  • Check if antivirus is blocking file writes
  • Try specifying a custom session_path with known write access
