💻 Installation

🔧 Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• pip (usually included with Python installations)

🚀 Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/coslynx/OpenAI-Wrapper-API-MVP.git
   cd OpenAI-Wrapper-API-MVP

2. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up Environment Variables:
   • Create a .env file (if one doesn't exist) based on the .env.example provided.
   • Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE in the .env file with your actual OpenAI API key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

🏗️ Usage

🏃‍♂️ Running the MVP

1. Start the Server:

   python app.py

2. The service will be running at http://localhost:5000.

⚙️ Configuration

• config.py: Contains basic configuration settings for the application.
• .env: Stores sensitive environment variables, such as the OpenAI API key, for secure management.
• To modify key settings:
  • Update the appropriate values in the .env file.
  • Restart the application to apply the changes.

📚 Examples

• Generating Text:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "Write a short story about a cat who loves to play with yarn.", "model": "text-davinci-003"}'

🌐 Hosting

🚀 Deployment Instructions

1. Install gunicorn (if not already installed):

   pip install gunicorn

2. Create a Procfile:

   web: gunicorn app:app
   

3. Choose a hosting platform:
   • Heroku: https://www.heroku.com/
   • AWS Elastic Beanstalk: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/
