💻 Installation

🔧 Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• pip package manager
• OpenAI API Key

🚀 Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/coslynx/OpenAI-Request-Wrapper-Backend.git
   cd OpenAI-Request-Wrapper-Backend

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up environment variables:

   cp .env.example .env

   • Open .env and replace YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE with your actual OpenAI API key.
   • You can optionally set DATABASE_URL if you want to use a different database.

🏗️ Usage

🏃‍♂️ Running the Backend

uvicorn api.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

⚙️ Configuration

• The utils/config.py file handles environment variables like OPENAI_API_KEY and DATABASE_URL. You can change them in the .env file.
• The backend server listens on port 8000 by default. You can change this in startup.sh or by passing a different port to uvicorn when running the server.

📚 Examples

Making a Text Generation Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/generate_text \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"model": "text-davinci-003", "prompt": "Write a short story about a cat", "temperature": 0.7}'

Response:

{
  "response": "Once upon a time, in a cozy little cottage nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a mischievous tabby cat named Whiskers. Whiskers was known for his playful antics and his insatiable appetite for tuna."
}

🚀 Deployment Instructions

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up environment variables:

   cp .env.example .env

4. Run the application:

   uvicorn api.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

5. Use a deployment platform like Heroku or AWS:
   • Follow the specific instructions for your chosen platform.
   • Make sure to set up the environment variables (API keys, database credentials, etc.) as required by your chosen platform.

🔑 Environment Variables

• OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key.
• DATABASE_URL: Your database connection string (if using a database).

📜 API Documentation

🔍 Endpoints

• POST /generate_text
  • Description: Generates text using OpenAI's models.
  • Request Body:

    {
      "model": "text-davinci-003", // OpenAI model to use
      "prompt": "Write a short story about a cat", // Text prompt
      "temperature": 0.7 // Controls randomness of the generated text
    }

  • Response:

    {
      "response": "Once upon a time, in a cozy little cottage..." // The generated text
    }

🔒 Authentication

• This MVP does not implement user authentication. It is designed to be used with a single OpenAI API key stored in the environment variable.
