There are 4 ways to provide your API keys, in order of precedence:
- Pass keys directly with constructor
- Unity Scriptable Object
- Load key from configuration file
- Use System Environment Variables
varapi=newOpenAIClient("sk-apiKey");Or create a OpenAIAuthentication object manually
varapi=newOpenAIClient(newOpenAIAuthentication("sk-apiKey","org-yourOrganizationId"));You can save the key directly into a scriptable object that is located in the Assets/Resources folder.
You can create a new one by using the context menu of the project pane and creating a new OpenAIConfiguration scriptable object.
Attempts to load api keys from a configuration file, by default .openai in the current directory, optionally traversing up the directory tree or in the user's home directory.
To create a configuration file, create a new text file named .openai and containing the line:
Organization entry is optional.
{
"apiKey": "sk-aaaabbbbbccccddddd",
"organization": "org-yourOrganizationId"
}OPENAI_KEY=sk-aaaabbbbbccccddddd
ORGANIZATION=org-yourOrganizationIdYou can also load the configuration file directly with known path by calling static methods in OpenAIAuthentication:
- Loads the default
.openaiconfig in the specified directory:
varapi=newOpenAIClient(OpenAIAuthentication.Default.LoadFromDirectory("path/to/your/directory"));- Loads the configuration file from a specific path. File does not need to be named
.openaias long as it conforms to the json format:
varapi=newOpenAIClient(OpenAIAuthentication.Default.LoadFromPath("path/to/your/file.json"));Use your system's environment variables specify an api key and organization to use.
- Use
OPENAI_API_KEYfor your api key. - Use
OPENAI_ORGANIZATION_IDto specify an organization.
varapi=newOpenAIClient(OpenAIAuthentication.Default.LoadFromEnvironment());You can also choose to use Microsoft's Azure OpenAI deployments as well.
You can find the required information in the Azure Playground by clicking the View Code button and view a URL like this:
https://{your-resource-name}.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/{deployment-id}/chat/completions?api-version={api-version}your-resource-nameThe name of your Azure OpenAI Resource.deployment-idThe deployment name you chose when you deployed the model.api-versionThe API version to use for this operation. This follows the YYYY-MM-DD format.
To setup the client to use your deployment, you'll need to pass in OpenAISettings into the client constructor.
varauth=newOpenAIAuthentication("sk-apiKey");varsettings=newOpenAISettings(resourceName:"your-resource-name",deploymentId:"deployment-id",apiVersion:"api-version");varapi=newOpenAIClient(auth,settings);Authenticate with MSAL as usual and get access token, then use the access token when creating your OpenAIAuthentication. Then be sure to set useAzureActiveDirectory to true when creating your OpenAISettings.
Tutorial: Desktop app that calls web APIs: Acquire a token
// get your access token using any of the MSAL methodsvaraccessToken=result.AccessToken;varauth=newOpenAIAuthentication(accessToken);varsettings=newOpenAISettings(resourceName:"your-resource",deploymentId:"deployment-id",apiVersion:"api-version",useActiveDirectoryAuthentication:true);varapi=newOpenAIClient(auth,settings);Using either the OpenAI-DotNet or com.openai.unity packages directly in your front-end app may expose your API keys and other sensitive information. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to set up an intermediate API that makes requests to OpenAI on behalf of your front-end app. This library can be utilized for both front-end and intermediary host configurations, ensuring secure communication with the OpenAI API.
In the front end example, you will need to securely authenticate your users using your preferred OAuth provider. Once the user is authenticated, exchange your custom auth token with your API key on the backend.
Follow these steps:
- Setup a new project using either the OpenAI-DotNet or com.openai.unity packages.
- Authenticate users with your OAuth provider.
- After successful authentication, create a new
OpenAIAuthenticationobject and pass in the custom token with the prefixsess-. - Create a new
OpenAISettingsobject and specify the domain where your intermediate API is located. - Pass your new
authandsettingsobjects to theOpenAIClientconstructor when you create the client instance.
Here's an example of how to set up the front end:
varauthToken=awaitLoginAsync();varauth=newOpenAIAuthentication($"sess-{authToken}");varsettings=newOpenAISettings(domain:"api.your-custom-domain.com");varapi=newOpenAIClient(auth,settings);This setup allows your front end application to securely communicate with your backend that will be using the OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy, which then forwards requests to the OpenAI API. This ensures that your OpenAI API keys and other sensitive information remain secure throughout the process.
In this example, we demonstrate how to set up and use OpenAIProxyStartup in a new ASP.NET Core web app. The proxy server will handle authentication and forward requests to the OpenAI API, ensuring that your API keys and other sensitive information remain secure.
- Create a new ASP.NET Core minimal web API project.
- Add the OpenAI-DotNet nuget package to your project.
- Powershell install:
Install-Package OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy - Manually editing .csproj:
<PackageReference Include="OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy" />
- Powershell install:
- Create a new class that inherits from
AbstractAuthenticationFilterand override theValidateAuthenticationmethod. This will implement theIAuthenticationFilterthat you will use to check user session token against your internal server. - In
Program.cs, create a new proxy web application by callingOpenAIProxyStartup.CreateDefaultHostmethod, passing your customAuthenticationFilteras a type argument. - Create
OpenAIAuthenticationandOpenAIClientSettingsas you would normally with your API keys, org id, or Azure settings.
publicpartialclassProgram{privateclassAuthenticationFilter:AbstractAuthenticationFilter{publicoverridevoidValidateAuthentication(IHeaderDictionaryrequest){// You will need to implement your own class to properly test// custom issued tokens you've setup for your end users.if(!request.Authorization.ToString().Contains(userToken)){thrownewAuthenticationException("User is not authorized");}}}publicstaticvoidMain(string[]args){varauth=OpenAIAuthentication.LoadFromEnv();varsettings=newOpenAIClientSettings(/* your custom settings if using Azure OpenAI */);varopenAIClient=newOpenAIClient(auth,settings);varproxy=OpenAIProxyStartup.CreateDefaultHost<AuthenticationFilter>(args,openAIClient);proxy.Run();}}Once you have set up your proxy server, your end users can now make authenticated requests to your proxy api instead of directly to the OpenAI API. The proxy server will handle authentication and forward requests to the OpenAI API, ensuring that your API keys and other sensitive information remain secure.
List and describe the various models available in the API. You can refer to the Models documentation to understand what models are available and the differences between them.
Also checkout model endpoint compatibility to understand which models work with which endpoints.
To specify a custom model not pre-defined in this library:
varmodel=newModel("model-id");The Models API is accessed via OpenAIClient.ModelsEndpoint
Lists the currently available models, and provides basic information about each one such as the owner and availability.
varapi=newOpenAIClient();varmodels=awaitapi.ModelsEndpoint.GetModelsAsync();foreach(varmodelinmodels){Debug.Log(model.ToString());}Retrieves a model instance, providing basic information about the model such as the owner and permissions.
varapi=newOpenAIClient();varmodel=awaitapi.ModelsEndpoint.GetModelDetailsAsync("text-davinci-003");Debug.Log(model.ToString());Delete a fine-tuned model. You must have the Owner role in your organization.
varapi=newOpenAIClient();varresult=awaitapi.ModelsEndpoint.DeleteFineTuneModelAsync("your-fine-tuned-model");Assert.IsTrue(result);Given a prompt, the model will return one or more predicted completions, and can also return the probabilities of alternative tokens at each position.
The Completions API is accessed via OpenAIClient.CompletionsEndpoint
varapi=newOpenAIClient();varresult=awaitapi.CompletionsEndpoint.CreateCompletionAsync("One Two Three One Two",temperature:0.1,model:Model.Davinci);Debug.Log(result);To get the
CompletionResult(which is mostly metadata), use its implicit string operator to get the text if all you want is the completion choice.
Streaming allows you to get results are they are generated, which can help your application feel more responsive, especially on slow models like Davinci.
varapi=newOpenAIClient();awaitapi.CompletionsEndpoint.StreamCompletionAsync(result =>{foreach(varchoiceinresult.Completions){Debug.Log(choice);}},"My name is Roger and I am a principal software engineer at Salesforce. This is my resume:",maxTokens:200,temperature:0.5,presencePenalty:0.1,frequencyPenalty:0.1,model:Model.Davinci);Given a chat conversation, the model will return a chat completion response.
