openai-cli 1.0.1

Command-line client for OpenAI API

Installation

To install OpenAI CLI in Python virtual environment, run:

pip install openai-cli

Token authentication

OpenAI API requires authentication token, which can be obtained on this page: https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys

Provide token to the CLI either through a command-line argument (-t/--token <TOKEN>) or through an environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY).

Usage

Currently only text completion API is supported.

Example usage:

$ echo "Are cats faster than dogs?" | openai complete -
It depends on the breed of the cat and dog. Generally,
cats are faster than dogs over short distances,
but dogs are better at sustained running.

Interactive mode supported (Press Ctrl+C to exit):

$ openai repl
Prompt: Can generative AI replace humans?

No, generative AI cannot replace humans.
While generative AI can be used to automate certain tasks,
it cannot replace the creativity, intuition, and problem-solving
skills that humans possess.
Generative AI can be used to supplement human efforts,
but it cannot replace them.

Prompt: ^C

Run without arguments to get a short help message:

$ openai
Usage: openai [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  complete  Return OpenAI completion for a prompt from SOURCE.
  repl      Start interactive shell session for OpenAI completion API.

Build a standalone binary using pex and move it into PATH:

$ make openai && mv openai ~/bin/
$ openai repl
Prompt:

Alternative API URL

CLI invokes https://api.openai.com/v1/completions by default. To override the endpoint URL, set OPENAI_API_URL environment variable.

Example usage

Here’s an example usage scenario, where we first create a Python module with a Fibonacci function implementation, and then generate a unit test for it:

$ mkdir examples
$ touch examples/__init__.py
$ echo "Write Python function to calculate Fibonacci numbers" | openai complete - | black - > examples/fib.py
$ (echo 'Write unit tests for this Python module named "fib":\n'; cat examples/fib.py) | openai complete - | black - > examples/test_fib.py
$ pytest -v examples/test_fib.py
