Hi all. If a user is abusing the AI bot/app with my API integrated, can this result in my API being banned for all users? If so, how can this be avoided?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Do you mean they’re using your OpenAI secret key? I believe banning for abuse is based off the particular secret key / authentication key being used.
Hope this helps.
PS - welcome to the community!
Thank you. Yes I was going to setup a bit/app using my secret key but I am concerned about users abusing it and then the key being banned which would ruin if for others using the bot or app.
Thank you for kind welcome.

It’s good to think ahead about this stuff.
Here’s a snippet from their updated App Review page…
You can use our free moderation endpoint and safety best practices to help you keep your app safe.
So, basically, you’ll want to put measures in place (your own or using the moderation API) to make sure no rules are broken. Also, be sure to include a user id of some sort with your API calls as this can help you track the malicious users if they slip through.
I’d make sure you have good Terms of Service too.
There’s an OpenAI Discord, but I prefer the slower page of the forums. Glad you stopped by.
What are you planning on building? We might be able to help give you pointers to get headed in the right direction.

Thank you very much. This is a big help. I am basically building a native android and iOS app for an AI chat using the davinci 003 engine. I already have a telegram bot that is about 95% complete. My goal is to simplify access to an AI rather than a web version like ChatGPT. I have limited coding knowledge though so it’s taking a lot longer than I expected. I considering just paying to have the remaining work completed.
