Are you curious about tapping into the power of OpenAI’s ChatGPT without the hassle and cost of an API key? Well, you’re in the right place! This guide will walk you through the steps to integrate ChatGPT seamlessly into your Python applications. Let’s dive in!

About The Project

This project allows you to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT services directly in your Python code without needing an official API key. If you want to leverage ChatGPT without subscribing to a ChatGPT Plus account, this project is for you!

Inspiration

While OpenAI provides an official API that requires a subscription, this project aims to connect your code to the free web interface of ChatGPT, enabling you to interact without any associated costs.

How It Works

Think of this as an intricate lock-and-key mechanism. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has a web interface that takes user inputs and provides outputs. This project reverse-engineers the requests you would typically make through the web interface, allowing Python to “pretend” it’s a user by sending the request in the same format. Like bypassing the traditional lock, you can access the chatbot’s capabilities without using an API key.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9

Installation

To get started, simply install the required package using the following command:

pip install re-gpt

Usage

Basic Example

Here’s how you can implement a simple example:

from re_gpt import SyncChatGPT

session_token = '__Secure-next-auth.session-token here' # Your session token
conversation_id = None # Optional: your conversation ID

with SyncChatGPT(session_token=session_token) as chatgpt:
    prompt = input('Enter your prompt: ')
    if conversation_id:
        conversation = chatgpt.get_conversation(conversation_id)
    else:
        conversation = chatgpt.create_new_conversation()
    for message in conversation.chat(prompt):
        print(message['content'], flush=True, end='')

Understanding the Code

Let’s break this down with an analogy. Imagine you’re ordering a pizza. You begin by communicating your toppings (i.e., your prompt) to the pizza shop (ChatGPT). The shop needs to know if you’re a new customer (create_new_conversation) or if you’ve ordered before (get_conversation). The order is processed (the chatbot generates a response), and you receive your delicious pizza (the chatbot’s reply) at the end! This process captures how ChatGPT operates behind the scenes through this Python integration.

Obtaining The Session Token

• Navigate to ChatGPT and log in or create an account.
• Open the developer tools in your browser.
• Access the Application tab and find the Cookies section.
• Copy the value for __Secure-next-auth.session-token and keep it safe.

Troubleshooting

While using this integration, you might face some issues. Here are a few tips:

• Invalid Session Token: Make sure you’ve copied the session token correctly.
• Connection Errors: Ensure that your internet connection is stable.
• Dependencies Issue: Check that all prerequisites and libraries are installed properly.
