Hello,

I am sorry if this has already been discussed, but I couldnt find anything.

I am trying to authenticate and connect through the API, but I am receiving the following error:

Output exceeds the size limit. Open the full output data in a text editor

Hi @bujarib

Please edit your post to include the code on proper markdown.

Let me know once you have done so.

Hi @sps

Please let me know if you can access this link: Online HTML Editor - html

Thanks

You need to urgently change your API key. You have posted it in the URL for the online editor

If you don’t, other people will use your key and you will be billed

Thanks Raymonddavey,

It is a revoked key.

No problems - just pointing it out in case you were unaware. Keys are sometimes posted by users without them realizing

Hi all I am trying to set up Auto-GPT it worked 1st but I logged out of terminal and know i get this “openai.error.AuthenticationError: Incorrect API key provided: your_api_key. You can find your API key at OpenAI API” The Api is correct in the .env file. Any Ideas ?

OPENAI

OPENAI_API_KEY - OpenAI API Key (Example: my-openai-api-key)

TEMPERATURE - Sets temperature in OpenAI (Default: 0)

USE_AZURE - Use Azure OpenAI or not (Default: False)

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxjdC

TEMPERATURE=0

USE_AZURE=False

Hello.

I had the same situation for GPTVectorStoreIndex and solved it calling openai.api_key as below.

#start
import os
os.environ[“OPENAI_API_KEY”]=
#To slove API Authentication error inside GPTVectorStoreIndex
import openai
openai.api_key = os.environ[‘OPENAI_API_KEY’]

#main body
from llama_index import GPTVectorStoreIndex, download_loader
PDFReader = download_loader(“CJKPDFReader”)
loader = PDFReader()
documents = loader.load_data(file=))
#Following line generats API Authentication error without calling openai.api_key
index = GPTVectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
#end

I was encountering same error with python’s openai==0.27.9 package. It was working fine for completion models (gpt-3.5-turbo) and image creating, but for Whisper AuthenticationError raises.
Issue has gone after i downgraded openai package to 0.27.0
Might be useful for somebody
