How do I integrate OpenAI API with JDoodle.ai? ​

OpenAI API provides access to advanced language models (including ChatGPT) for automating tasks, generating text, and building conversational agents. Integrating the OpenAI API with JDoodle.ai allows you to leverage these models within your projects for automation, content generation, and other advanced functionalities.

With OpenAI integration, you can:

  • Develop conversational agents that understand and respond naturally to user queries.
  • Generate diverse content directly within your project, including articles, emails, reports, and more.
  • Automate tasks like summarization, translation, code generation, and sentiment analysis.
  • Provide instant, context-aware responses to improve user engagement.
  • Incorporate natural language processing into your workflows for insights, intent recognition, and effective user interaction management.

Integrating OpenAI API ​

Get the OpenAI API key ​

  • Log in to platform.openai.com using your existing account.
  • Navigate to the Dashboard and select API Keys from the left menu.
  • Click Generate API Key. A new API key will be displayed. Copy and securely store it, as it is shown only once.
  • Click Continue and add your payment information to purchase a credit package (e.g., start with $5); this step is required for the API key to function.

Add the OpenAI API to your JDoodle.ai project ​

  • Log in to your JDoodle.ai account and open your project.
  • If you’ve asked JDoodle.ai to integrate the OpenAI API into a specific part of your project — for example, a chatbot, content generator, or text summarizer — JDoodle.ai will automatically add the required field to the Secrets tab.
  • Go to the Secrets tab located at the top of your project dashboard.
  • You’ll see a field named OPENAI_API_KEY (added automatically by JDoodle.ai).
  • Replace the dummy value in this field with your actual OpenAI API key.
  • Click the Save icon in the top-right corner to store your key.
  • Once saved, refresh your project to activate the integration and start using OpenAI’s capabilities within your app.

Troubleshooting ​

If the API key is not working, here are a couple of things you can do:

  • Double-check that the API key is copied correctly.
  • Refresh your project after re-adding the key.
  • Submit a new prompt to check if the key is active. If you're still facing troubles, find bugs, or need additional help, feel free to post in our community to get help.

Safety note ​

Do not share your API key in any public or insecure channels to ensure the security of your account.
